EXCLUSIVE: Anna Camp (True Blood, Pitch Perfect), Jasmine Cephas Jones (Hamilton, Blindspotting), Finn Jones (Marvel’s Iron Fist, Game of Thrones) and Martin Marquez (Billy Elliot The Musical, Hotel Babylon) are set to lead the cast of Olivier-nominated 2:22 — A Ghost Story in its New York premiere.

Produced by Tony and Olivier Award-winning Runaway Entertainment (Girl From The North Country, The Hunger Games: On Stage), previews begin Tuesday, October 20 at the Lucille Lortel Theatre. Opening is Thursday, November 5 for a strictly limited engagement of 13 weeks only, through Sunday, January 17, 2027. 

Camp will play Lauren, Cephas Jones will portray Jenny, Jones is Sam and Marquez will play Ben.

“I am so incredibly thrilled to return to taking on the complex and wonderfully written character of Lauren in the hauntingly beautiful play, 2:22, said Camp in a statement to Deadline. “Getting the chance to revisit this story and to discover so many new things with such a talented cast at the iconic Lucille Lortel theatre this fall is such an honor. I’m beyond excited to dive back in to this world in particular and to return to the New York stage, and to my first love, the theatre.”

Following its premiere in London’s West End in 2021, 2:22 — A Ghost Story heads to off-Broadway following seven West End engagements, two record-breaking UK tours, and more than 30 productions worldwide.

Written by Danny Robbins (The Battersea Poltergeist podcast), in 2:22 — A Ghost Story, Jenny (Cephas Jones) believes her new home is haunted, but her husband Sam (Jones) isn’t having any of it. When their friends Lauren (Camp) and Ben (Marquez) come around for a housewarming dinner, a stirring debate ensues – can the dead really walk again? Belief and skepticism clash, but lingering beneath the argument is something strange and frightening…and that something is getting closer. So they’re going to stay up… until 2:22… and dare to discover the truth. 

During its first West End engagement at the Noël Coward Theatre, the production broke all box office records for a new play at the venue. Starring Lily Allen, Julia Chan, Hadley Fraser and Jake Wood, the production received an Olivier Award nomination and won the WhatsOnStage Award for Best Play. The production subsequently transferred to the Gielgud Theatre, Criterion Theatre, Lyric Theatre, and Apollo Theatre, and featured actors including Tom Felton, Sophia Bush, Cheryl, Matt Willis, Stephanie Beatriz, Mandip Gill, Laura Whitmore  and Stacey Dooley.
