Cheryl to make her West-End Debut

It has been announced today that the supernatural thriller 2:22 – A Ghost Story will not only move to its biggest theatre yet in January 2023, it will mark the West End acting debut of popstar, Cheryl.

The 39 year-old Geordie will follow in the footsteps of Lily Allen, Giovanni Fletcher, Mandip Gill and Laura Whitmore in playing the part of Jenny in Danny Robins‘ scary stage thriller.

Cheryl commented on her new role: ‘I am really excited to be taking part in what is such a new challenge for me. I have always loved and been a big fan of theatre so I’m especially excited to be playing the role of Jenny in this production of 2:22. It is a brilliant role and subject matter with a very interesting plot! Danny Robins is such an intriguing character which is evident throughout this play and his style of writing has an odd sense of familiarity to me, being a fellow Geordie! I look forward to working with Matthew and the other cast members and can’t wait to get going.’

The play sees Jenny beginning to 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.

January 2023 will see 2:22 A Ghost Story transfer from its current home at the Criterion to the Lyric Theatre, the show’s biggest house to date.

The singer, who had 5 solo Number One singles and 2 Number One albums, is bound to be a big draw for the Olivier-nominated play.
