NATASHA, PIERRE AND THE GREAT COMET OF 1812 to premiere in the UK later this year

Natasha, Pierre and The Great Comet of 1812 will run at the Donmar Warehouse from 7 December until 8 February 2025.

A musical adaptation of a segment from Tolstoy's War and Peace, the show focuses on Natasha's affair with Anatole and its impact on her engagement to Andrei. Natasha, Pierre and The Great Comet of 1812 mixes electro-pop, rock, opera, folk and musical theatre.

Written by Dave Malloy, the acclaimed production received 12 nominations at the 71st Tony Awards in 2017.

Casting for the UK premiere is said to be in full swing.

The creative team includes director Timothy Sheader, choreography by Ellen Kane, musical supervision by Nicholas Skilbeck, set design by Leslie Travers, costume design by Evie Gurney, sound design by Nick Lidster and Gareth Tucker for Autograph, musical direction by Sam Young, casting by Pippa Ailion for Pippa Ailion and Natalie Gallacher Casting, and the associate director is Fiona Dunn.

There has been huge success for productions at the Donmar Warehouse recently, including Next to Normal which recently began its West End transfer run at the Wyndham's Theatre this month and Macbeth at the Harold Pinter Theatre this Autumn.
