First look: Cheryl, Jake Wood, Louise Ford, Scott Karim in 2:22 – A Ghost Story

Production photos have been revealed for the new run of 2:22 – A Ghost Story in the West End in 2023.

Danny Robins’ supernatural thriller is back for a fifth season, this time at The Lyric Theatre.

The new cast features Cheryl as Jenny, Jake Wood reprising his role of Ben, Louise Ford playing Lauren and Scott Karim playing Sam.

They are currently playing a thirteen week run through to 23 April 2023.

Jenny believes her new home is haunted, but her husband Sam isn’t having any of it. They argue with their first dinner guests, old friend Lauren and her new partner Ben. Can the dead really walk again?

Belief and scepticism clash, but something feels strange and frightening, and that something is getting closer, so they are going to stay up… until 2.22am… and then they will know.

Creator Danny Robins said: “I’m hugely excited to be moving into the Lyric, another brilliantly atmospheric theatre, and to be welcoming Cheryl to the show. She’s someone we’ve watched grow from her Girls Aloud days to the icon she is now, and seeing her in this very different light will be an utter thrill.

“We’ve had a great tradition of Jennys making their West End acting debuts and blowing audiences away, and I know that Cheryl is going to be absolutely sensational and spine-tingling. Also, we grew up very close to each other in Newcastle so I can’t wait to hear Jenny with a Geordie accent!”
