This new run will be a co-production with Sonia Friedman Productions, will run for a limited season at the Noël Coward Theatre, and will star actor and Years and Years singer-songwriter Olly Alexander.
Alexander said in a statement: "I’m over the moon to be returning to a West End stage to take on the fabulous role of Algernon Moncrieff in Oscar Wilde’s most fun and favoured play.
"I’ve always hugely admired Wilde - he’s a true icon, not only a hugely successful and influential 19th century writer but also a trailblazing queer artist who fearlessly pushed against the expectations of society. He was a pioneer of LGBTQ+ rights before such a thing existed and I’m so excited and proud to get the chance to inhabit his work."
