Caroline, or Change

...Playhouse, Embankment

...'After sold-out seasons at the Hampstead Theatre and Chichester Festival Theatre, Michael Longhurst’s production of Olivier Award-winning musical Caroline, or Change transfers to the West End. Playing a limited season at London’s Playhouse Theatre, the five-star show takes place in America at a time of significant social upheaval. 

Following poorly paid maid Caroline Thibodeaux, the story sees her surrounded by a life of work in a sweltering basement. But when more money is placed in her pocket than normal, the winds of change are put to test. Featuring a book and lyrics by Tony Kushner (Angels in America) and music by Jeanine Tesori, the production is set against a soaring score that features blues, soul, classical and traditional Jewish music. Award-winning actress and theatre legend Sharon D. Clark reprises her role as Caroline, after receiving critical acclaim in the show’s previous runs. 

Caroline, or Change runs at the Playhouse Theatre from 20 November 2018 to 9 February 2019.'
