Helen George turned heads at the press night after-party for High Society at London’s Barbican Theatre, celebrating the musical’s successful launch alongside boyfriend Dan Innes.
The 41-year-old actress, best known for her role in Call the Midwife, stars in the production alongside Freddie Fox and Julian Ovenden. Early reactions to the show have highlighted her performance as one of the standout elements of the production.
Marking the occasion in style, George wore a striking chocolate-brown lace gown featuring a structured corset bodice. The design created a subtle illusion effect that echoed one of the year’s most prominent red-carpet fashion trends. Intricate lace detailing was layered over a pale pink silk slip, while the high neckline and peplum hem added a refined finish to the look.
She completed the ensemble with beige heels and a voluminous updo, showcasing her signature blonde hair in an elegant style suited to the evening’s celebrations.
Joining her at the event was Dan Innes, who appeared delighted to support the actress during a significant moment in her theatre career. The couple began dating last year and have since made several public appearances together.
Following the performance, George shared a series of behind-the-scenes photographs from the evening on social media, expressing gratitude for the support she has received from friends, family, colleagues and the creative team behind the production. She described the experience as a whirlwind and praised the sense of community that helped bring the musical to the stage.
Fans responded enthusiastically to the post, complimenting both her appearance and her performance in the production, which has been described as an uplifting and entertaining show.
The actress found happiness with Innes after her separation from former Call the Midwife co-star Jack Ashton, with whom she shares daughters Wren and Lark. She publicly introduced her relationship with the real estate consultant in 2025 through a social media post on Valentine’s Day.
George and Innes are said to share similar life experiences, with both having children from previous relationships. In past interviews, George has spoken warmly about the relationship, noting that she enjoys being with someone whose career lies outside the entertainment industry.
During the evening’s celebrations, George also posed for photographs with fellow cast members and theatre figures, including Freddie Fox, Julian Ovenden and Felicity Kendal. The event capped off a successful opening night for High Society, with audiences reportedly giving the production a standing ovation.
