Get a Scandalous First Look at Alexander Hanson & Charlotte Spencer in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Stephen Ward

The new Andrew Lloyd Webber musical inspired by the real life "Profumo affair" scandal opens at London’s Aldwych Theatre on December 19, but we have your first look at the sure-to-be thrilling production. The musical stars Alexander Hanson as Stephen Ward, a free-living osteopath who meets and falls for the young and beautiful Christine Keeler, played by Charlotte Spencer. The musical puts Ward’s story in the spotlight and follows him through a headline-dominating trial until he can longer tolerate the pressure. Featuring a book and lyrics by Christopher Hampton and Don Black (who worked with Lloyd Webber on Sunset Boulevard), Stephen Ward is directed by five-time Olivier winner Richard Eyre.
