Based on Audrey Niffenegger’s internationally best-selling novel, this new British musical is thrillingly brought to life with original songs from Grammy Award winners Joss Stone and Dave Stewart. Adapted by multi award-winning playwright Lauren Gunderson, the London premier is staged by acclaimed British director Bill Buckhurst (Sweeney Todd ) and opens at the Apollo Theatre in October 2023. From the producers of Back To The Future: The Musical and Ghost, The Time Traveller's Wife is a joyous, uplifting celebration of the strange wonder of love, whoever and whenever you are. Their relationship is like no other. And yet, it’s like all others. Clare is a talented sculptor and Henry is - well - a time traveller. They meet, fall in love, and marry – but not in that order. Flung apart by time but united by love, Henry is always trying to get back to Clare. Their journey is one of resilience, impossibilities, and trying to hold on to each other when everything is pulling you apart.

(Chestnuts roasting on an open) quickfire with Tim Mahendran
As it’s the festive season, (the big day is just six sleeps away!) we were tempted to send The Time Traveller’s Wife star, Tim Mahendran, ten lords a-leaping, however, ten Christmas questions were easier to send via email…
He may be playing Gomez in the weepy page to stage adaptation of The Time Traveller’s Wife, but his Christmas Day resembles another book to film to stage show, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory! Up to thirteen people are crammed onto his parents bed on Christmas morning to open their presents! (though, we’re reliably informed that the family do leave the bedroom to tuck into his Mums famous Beef Wellington, ‘we only get it once year, but every time it’s worth the wait!’)
Something he doesn’t have to wait 364 days a year for? Chocolate! Just like Charlie, The Time Traveller’s Wife cast are partial to a sweet treat, especially in the winter months. ‘There are lots of sweets and chocolate backstage, and when people walk on stage, there is a strong chance they are still eating chocolate’.
So, when you next watch the smash-hit show at the Apollo Theatre, try and guess which Quality Street the characters may, or may not, have in there pocket. Though we’re not quite sure where Henry (David Hunter) would hide his…

Fall back into these top time travelling shows
Spring foward, fall back. It’s that time of year again, for the next six months, the clock in your car will either be displaying the correct time or will be an hour ahead (not even Doc Brown has figured it out). Tomorrow we will gain an extra hour of sleep, and we'll be all the more confused...and well-rested!
It’s amazing what a difference an extra hour can make to our days, but, adjusting the clocks and resetting the time can be trippy. Can you imagine what it would be like if you lived in one of those time-bending shows...well imagine no more as if you want to journey through the space-time continuum, we've got just the list of time-travelling shows for you. Stop the clock!
