Before you see Anne, you see the world. Every shadow placed with intention. Every note shaped with care. Every silhouette designed to hold a story. These production images are the result of a creative team working in precise collaboration — a shared language of sound, space and storytelling. What began as imagination has been realised on stage through craft, rigour and deep artistic trust.

This is the story of Anne Shirley — an honest, unapologetic eleven-year-old orphan — and her first year at Green Gables. When she arrives, the Cuthberts were expecting a boy, not a fiery red-haired girl with a boundless imagination. Will she be sent away? Or will she change their lives forever? Anne of Green Gables is a heartfelt story of family, friendship, and the courage to belong. 📣Cast 🎭 Anne — Isabella Yang Marilla Cuthbert — Vivien Parry (@vivienparry1964 ) Matthew Cuthbert — Ross Dawes (@rossdawes ) Mrs Lynde — Kathryn Akin (@kathrynakin01 ) Mrs Spencer / The Fairy Queen / Mrs Thomas — Ellen O’Grady (@ellen.ogrady.33 ) Mrs Barry / The Woman / Mrs Flodden — Candy Ma (@candy.ma.1800 ) Mrs Blewett / The Maiden / Mrs Hammond — Cilla Silvia (@cillasilvia ) Diana Barry — Eve Humphrey (@evehumphreyy ) Gilbert Blythe — Fred Double (@freddouble ) Mr Phillips / The Stationmaster / Mr Lynde — Thomas Josling (@thomas_josling ) 📸 @chillwithchilly #AnneOfGreenGables #LondonTheatre #musical #TheatrePhotography

Behind every moment on stage is a whole world of people making it happen. Our band holding the rhythm. Our crew shaping the details. Everyone watching, listening, adjusting. Quietly brilliant. Absolutely essential. 📸 @chillwithchilly #anneofgreengables #londontheatre #musical #backstage

From rehearsal room to stage — today, it all comes together. 📸 @chillwithchilly #anneofgreengables #stage #stagephotography #londontheatre #londonmusical

See you in the studio soon. 📸 @chillwithchilly #anneofgreengables #SadlersWells #rehearsal #theatrelife #londonmusical

Last day in the rehearsal room today. The taped floor, the half-finished moments, the endless cups of tea — all done (for now). Next stop: Tech Week. We’re moving into Lilian Baylis Studio at Sadler’s Wells next week and honestly… it’s starting to feel real. See you in the theatre. 📸 @chillwithchilly #anneofgreengables #rehearsals #themusical #londontheatre #londonlife

In every corner of the rehearsal room, someone is watching. By the stacked tables. Behind the pillar. Across a desk covered in notes. Not centre stage — but never off duty. Every shift in tone. Every change in rhythm. Quietly tracked. The show is taking shape long before the lights go up. 📸 @chillwithchilly #RehearsalRoom #anneofgreengables #londontheatre #londonmusical #sadlerswells

Anne doesn’t arrive fully formed — she grows. And so does Isabella. In this room, we’re witnessing that quiet transformation: confidence building, imagination expanding, voice becoming clearer. Rehearsal magic in the making ✨ 📸 @chillwithchilly #anneofgreengables #musical #rehearsalroom #theatre #stillphotography

Rehearsals are never just about what happens on stage. They’re about the people in the room — actors, creatives, and the team behind the scenes — sharing ideas, stories, and time. A few quiet moments from Anne of Green Gables in rehearsal 🍃 📸 @chillwithchilly #anneofgreengables #rehearsal #behindthescenes #themusical #sadlerswells

💛 In rehearsal, everything begins with trust — between actors, between stories, between people. 🍎 A few glimpses from our Anne of Green Gables rehearsals, where imagination runs free and Green Gables slowly takes shape. 📸 @chillwithchilly #AnneOfGreenGables #RehearsalRoom #photographer #NewMusical #theatre
