Original West End Cast

"Original West End Cast" refers to the first group of actors who performed in a theatrical production when it officially opened in London's West End, a major theater district. This cast is notable because they set the initial performances and are often regarded as the definitive or classic portrayal of the show’s characters. Their performances can influence how the show is perceived and remembered, and they sometimes become closely associated with the production’s history. Being part of the original cast is considered a significant achievement and a key part of a show’s legacy.
