Steven Moffat’s The Time Traveler’s Wife was cancelled after just one season, but Audrey Niffenegger’s hit best-seller is now getting a new adaptation in a very different form.
The latest version will take the shape of a musical to premiere in Chester this autumn, before a West End run.
David Hunter will play the titular time traveller, Henry DeTamble. His credits include stints in some of the best known West End musicals, including Waitress, Kinky Boots and One Man, Two Guvnors, as well as roles in Holby City and Doctors.
Joanna Woodward, who played Vivian Ward in Pretty Woman: The Musical and has starred in Little Shop of Horrors, Lost Boys and more, will play Clare Abshire.
Grammy Award-winning composers Joss Stone and Dave Stewart are in charge of the score.

Moffat’s adaptation of The Time Traveler’s Wife aired via HBO Max in the US, and on Sky and NOW in the UK earlier this year.
The former Doctor Who showrunner had previously told RadioTimes.com that he was “in optimism writing the second season right now”, but sadly, we won’t see Rose Leslie and Theo James reprise the roles of Clare and Henry, despite the series only adapting about half of the novel in its first run.
