Casting revealed for Little Dancer at Theatre Royal Haymarket

The full cast has been revealed for Little Dancer – a new musical coming to London’s Theatre Royal Haymarket from February 2027 – including New York City Ballet Principal Dancer Tiler Peck making her West End debut.

Little Dancer will star Emmy Award winner, Olivier nominee and New York City Ballet Principal Dancer as Marie, who is making her West End debut, as well as Julian Ovenden (High Society, Downton Abbey, South Pacific) as Edgar Degas.

Directed and choreographed by two-time Olivier and five-time Tony Award winner Susan Stroman (The Producers, Crazy for You), Little Dancer will run from 15 February until 27 March 2027 at Theatre Royal Haymarket.

The musical is inspired by the real-life story behind Edgar Degas’ iconic sculpture, and follows Marie van Goethem – the teenage dancer who inspired Degas’ masterpiece, alongside the artist himself.
