Recent tour reviews

Best show I’ve seen at the The Independent. I’m so so glad I used this app to get my tickets months in advance! The show was sold out and packed.

Report as inappropriate

Saw DRAMA on Oct 24th at Danforth Mysic Hall. What an awesome duo. Sang along to every word. Na’el does a good job creating new sounds to keep the crowd interested. Bit gutted that Via Rosa’s voice was a little muffled as she’s got some great vocals. Hopefully they’ll come to London UK and headline their own show soon. If these two are passing through your town do not pass them up.

I had never been to that venue before and was suprised how good it sounded! I love this duo, easy to vibe with every song and the show was entertaining and fun to watch as well. They hung out in the bar after the show and chatted with people, they were so chill! I really wish them the best of luck.

Stage tours to see across the UK in 2021

Stage shows are heading out across the UK and beyond next year!

24 December 2020

We have over 20 shows hitting the open road in 2021! Theatre is destined to bounce back in full force and these tours are just the tip of the iceberg. Where some shows are adjusting dates to suit the tier restrictions we have reflected this in opening dates.

Beauty and the Beast

The smash-hit film is returning with an all-new production. The tale as old as time getting a fresh overhaul. 2021 tour will commence at Curve Leicester on 25 May

Bedknobs and Broomsticks UK tour

The Sherman Brothers certainly know how to craft an iconic tune – so we're very excited to see the eagerly anticipated stage version of the 1971 Disney film. UK and Ireland tour opens at Newcastle Theatre Royal on 14 August .

After its starry run in Hammersmith, the show is heading out on the open road. Jennifer Saunders will be joining Brenda Edwards for select dates. Tour opens at Mayflower Theatre Southampton from 7 September

It was a fan-favourite in the West End and Waitress is now hitting the open road! The pie-heavy experience is well worth catching for a heartwarming bake-friendly experience. The tour will now open at Bradford Alhambra on 1 May 2021.

White Christmas

We're all dreaming of a normal Christmas this year, let alone a white one – but come 2021 the festive spirit should be back in full force with this stage bonanza based on the classic film. Opening on 28 October 2021 at New Victoria Theatre, Woking.

My Best Friend's Wedding

Alexandra Burke heads up a brand new musical based on the film about a couple of late-20-somethings who promise to marry each other if they don't find anyone else. It features a shedload of Burt Bacharach and Hal David songs so will probably be a cockle-warming experience with lots of romance to boot. Tour opens at Manchester Palace Theatre on 20 September 2021

Les Misérables

Do you hear the people sing? Right now, perhaps not – but the flag will fly over the Les Mis barricades once again soon! Reopens at Bristol Hippodrome on 17 May.

The Rocky Horror Show

The fan-favourite is back for another tour to enchant Horror fans across the UK. Scheduled to open at open at Mayflower Southampton in March 2021

Strictly Ballroom

Kevin Clifton has wowed on Strictly and on stage, so it seems like the perfect pairing to have him in the touring version of Baz Luhrmann's iconic film. Scheduled to open in Plymouth at the end of September 2021

Another classic show, recently seen in the West End once again, Chicago will be "pop"-ping out on tour next year! Touring from 2021

School of Rock

It was rocking it to the man in the West End until early this year, and School of Rock , based on the cult classic film, will be out on the open road next year! Touring from 2021

Another fan-favourite film, the musical version will be back in action next year. Casting for the tour is to be confirmed. Touring from 2021

Rock of Ages

Building a city on rock and roll may not be structurally sound but it certainly makes for a rollercoaster musical! Tour opens on 21 May in Portsmouth

We Will Rock You

The hits of Queen are brought to air-punching life in the classic stage show that has been a firm favourite since it first ran in the West End. Tour opens on 26 April in Norwich

The Addams Family

Everyone's favourite spooky family is back! The show, based on the franchise of the same name, was a touring success the first time around and will once more be hitting the open road come 2021. Touring from 2021

The Osmonds

The music of the iconic family will be hitting the open road for the first time in this brand spanking new musical – promising a riveting story and some instantly recognisable tunes. Who's up for "Having a Party"? UK tour commences in Wimbledon on 26 August

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

It had magical runs both at Leeds Playhouse and the Bridge Theatre, so the prospect of the piece returning for a new tour will have kids (of all ages) excited. Who wouldn't want a dose of Narnia for Christmas? The tour will open at Curve Leicester on 2 November.

New Earth's piece was first seen earlier this year at Storyhouse and is adapted from Strindberg by Amy Ng. Tour opens on 5 March 2021 at Chester Storyhouse

Looking Good Dead

Adam Woodyatt will be stepping out of the square and into this thriller – which is sure to excite audiences in the same sure-fire way all Peter James stories do. The tour will at the Churchill Theatre, Bromley on 1 April 2021.

The Da Vinci Code

Dan Brown's bestselling novel is being brought to the stage for the very first time, featuring a creative team led by & Juliet 's Luke Sheppard. The globe-trotting tale featuring the descendants of Christ (!) is likely to be a big-budget rollercoaster – definitely worth a watch. The Da Vinci Code opens on tour at Churchill Theatre, Bromley on Saturday 3 April 2021

The smash-hit fan favourite continues to go from strength-to-strength – and while it may have had many plans halted by the pandemic, we're sure Six will roar back into life as soon as possible. Touring from 2021

Many fans will be VERY excited about the prospect of Heathers hitting stages across the UK, after a storming run in the West End and a plethora of WhatsOnStage Award wins. Touring from 2021

Singin' in the Rain

With its Sadler's Wells run nudged back by a year, the iconic musical will also push back its touring run, heading into 2022. Touring after London run

THE OLIVIER AWARD-WINNING BEST PLAY RETURNS MARCH 2025

National theatre.

10 MARCH – 24 MAY 2025

THE LOWRY, SALFORD

29 MAY – 29 JUNE 2025

‘A theatrical spectacle as uplifting as any England victory’

Daily Telegraph

‘A TRIUMPHANT TRANSFER SCORES ON THE WEST END’

‘a back-of-the-net winner’, ‘a brilliant fusion of sport and art’.

Evening Standard

‘A WINNING TEAM IN A TALE OF FOOTBALL, FEAR AND ENGLAND. EXQUISITE’

Broadway World

‘James Graham brings it home with this rousing new play. Uplifting, funny and more entertaining than a World Cup final’

‘a glorious, generous rollercoaster… that’s what winning looks like’.

Financial Times

‘James Graham’s new stage epic. Tremendous’

‘he shoots, he scores. graham’s fast-moving portrait of gareth southgate’s reign as the england football’, ‘the beautiful game in a beautiful play’.

WhatsOnStage

Following a record-breaking run in the West End, the Olivier-Award winning smash hit returns to the National Theatre ahead of a 4-week run at The Lowry, Salford.

The country that gave the world football has since delivered a painful pattern of loss. Why can’t England’s men win at their own game?

The team has the worst track record for penalties in the world, and manager Gareth Southgate knows he needs to open his mind and face up to the years of hurt to take team and country back to the promised land.

Writer James Graham  ( Punch , Nottingham Playhouse; Sherwood , BBC) updates his epic examination of nation and game to reflect Gareth Southgate’s final chapter as England manager.  Rupert Goold ( Patriots, Cold War, Almeida Theatre) once again directs this ‘back-of-the-net winner’ (The i).

Please note this is a fictionalised account of the struggles and successes of England’s football teams, based on extensive research and interviews. It features characters inspired by some real-life individuals, and some composite characters entirely imagined by the author.

Booking and details

The global phenomenon returns

Our acclaimed production returns in an all-new UK tour. War Horse is an unforgettable theatrical experience which takes audiences on an extraordinary journey from the fields of rural Devon to the trenches of First World War France, in a remarkable story of courage, loyalty and friendship.

Based on the beloved novel by Michael Morpurgo , this powerfully moving and imaginative drama, filled with stirring music and songs, is a show of phenomenal inventiveness. At its heart are astonishing life-sized horses by South Africa’s Handspring Puppet Company , who bring breathing, galloping, charging horses to thrilling life on stage.

At the outbreak of World War I, Joey, young Albert’s beloved horse, is sold to the Cavalry and shipped to France. He’s soon caught up in enemy fire, and fate takes him on an extraordinary journey, serving on both sides before finding himself alone in No Man’s Land. Albert, who remained on his parents’ Devon farm, cannot forget Joey. Though still not old enough to enlist, he embarks on a treacherous mission to find Joey and bring him home.

New episodes of Shakespeare & Hathaway: Private Investigators to premiere on Alibi

24th september 2024, new episodes of shakespeare & hathaway: private investigators to premiere on alibi before launching on bbc & iplayer.

Fan-favourite Shakespeare & Hathaway: Private Investigators has started filming series five in Stratford-upon-Avon, with Jo Joyner, Mark Benton and Patrick Walshe McBride reprising their roles as Luella Shakespeare, Frank Hathaway and Sebastian Brudenell. The new series, produced by BBC Studios Drama Productions in Birmingham, is a co-commission by BBC Content and UKTV , and will premiere exclusively on UKTV’s specialist crime drama channel, Alib i next year before launching later on the BBC and iPlayer . Series one to four are available on BBC iPlayer. The deal is part of the BBC’s commitment to investment in the Midlands, which has seen drama commissions in the region continue such as the recently announced double commission for Father Brown series 12 and 13 with BBC Studios, and the acquisition of series one and two of Sister Boniface from BBC Studios. Shakespeare & Hathaway: Private Investigators series four was the BBC’s second biggest daytime series in 2022. Its average audience was 2.3million with nearly one fifth (0.4m) of its total audience coming from iPlayer and was the biggest commissioned daytime series on iPlayer in 2022. Created by Paul Matthew Thompson and the late Jude Tindall, the series follows an unlikely pair of private investigators, hardboiled ex-cop Frank Hathaway (Benton), and warm-hearted ex-hairdresser Lu Shakespeare (Joyner), as they work the cobbled streets of Stratford-upon-Avon, solving thrilling cases and murders most foul. Helen Munson , Commissioner for BBC Daytime comments, “I’m delighted that Shakespeare and Hathaway are back! Expect more murder, more intrigue, and of course more comedy in series 5, as Lu and Frank once again solve crimes in beautiful Stratford Upon Avon.”

We’re delighted to have this opportunity to treat Alibi viewers to the further adventures of this much-loved pairing on Alibi first.

Claire Hookway , Commissioning Executive, Drama, UKTV, says: "With its distinctive marriage of comedy, crime and mystery, we know Alibi viewers love Shakespeare & Hathaway: Private Investigators. We’re delighted to have this opportunity to treat them to the further adventures of this much-loved pairing on Alibi first and can’t wait to see Lu and Frank back on-screen with some new twisty and thrilling mysteries to solve.” Jo Joyner says: “I’m so excited to be stepping back into Luella’s bright and fluffy shoes! We have such loyal and brilliant fans who have been asking us daily if we’ll ever be back, so it’s wonderful to finally be able to say yes! I can’t wait to see Lu, Frank and Sebastian cracking more countryside crimes whilst squabbling fondly in series 5.” Mark Benton says: “I'm so thrilled to be making the show again. The reaction was phenomenal and hopefully series five will be even better. I can't wait.” Patrick Walshe McBride says: "I'm so excited to be back filming Shakespeare & Hathaway. We have so much fun making the show and we put a lot of love into it. I hope viewers will be interested to find out what the characters have been up to over the last couple of years, and will enjoy accompanying us in a new season of murder and merriment. Anyone for Earl Grey?" Deborah Sathe , Creative Director for BBC Studios Drama Productions, says: “BBC Studios, and the cast and crew of Shakespeare and Hathaway, are so excited to be returning to Stratford Upon Avon to film this hugely popular show. Viewers have let us know how much they have missed us so we hope they are as thrilled as we are! Frank And Lu haven’t lain dormant and poor Sebastian has been overworked, but criminals of Stratford Upon Avon beware, our super sleuths are back!” Shakespeare and Hathaway: Private Investigators is produced by BBC Studios Drama Productions for the BBC and UKTV. Executive Producers are Neil Irvine for BBC Studios, Helen Munson and Rob Unsworth for the BBC and Claire Hookway, Commissioning Executive, Drama, for UKTV. Erika Hossington is Series Producer and Lyn Washbrook is Script Producer. BBC Studios is handing international distribution. -ENDS-

The North Road Company has made a major hire in the UK, bringing in former Channel 4 drama boss Caroline Hollick .

Based out of London, Hollick will be North Road’s Senior VP International Production and Development. She’ll work closely with North Road President of Television Amy Israel and her LA-based team to identify “fresh voices and top creative talent for North Road to collaborate with in the UK and other European markets.”

David Nevins Exits As CEO Of Peter Chernin’s The North Road Company

Watch on deadline.

“As a global television studio, North Road is excited to have someone of Caroline’s caliber and passion for storytelling based in the UK. We look forward to supporting Caroline as she dives back into the UK market and generates more global opportunities for local creative talent to share their stories.”

Prior to Channel 4, Hollick was Creative Director at Studiocanal-owned Red Production Company, working on shows such as Happy Valley and Last Tango in Halifax . She began her career as a production trainee at Yorkshire Television.

“I am beyond excited to join North Road,” said Hollick. “I appreciate that they have met this moment in our business with optimism, an entrepreneurial spirit, and a continued commitment to working with world class voices. I am excited to harness my talent relationships in the UK and Europe to further North Road’s global ambitions.”

Hollick’s appointment at North Road comes nine months after Deadline revealed the company’s previous London-based scripted chief, President of International Film & TV Kristin Jones, was leaving the company . Her exit came after a series of senior hires for North Road including Israel, the former Showtime exec; Josh Stern as EVP Television; James Pross as VP Television; and Madison Heim-Jinivisian as Creative Executive.

North Road’s international productions include Bad Boy,  which is from  Euphoria  creator Ron Leshem, and Heart of a Killer , u n v e i l e d earlier this week . Peter Chernin’s company has been active outside the U.S. since it bought the U.S. assets of ProSiebenSat.1 Media-owned Red Arrow for $200M, as Deadline  revealed  at the time. Deals for  The Last Dance  producer  Little Room Films  and Turkish producer  Karga Seven have followed, along with stakes in Peyton Manning’s  Omaha Productions  and  Two One Five Entertainment , the production house founded by Questlove and Black Thought of The Roots.

Hollick caught some flak at the back end of last year from the UK drama community for her association with Channel 4’s The Couple Next Door , which was written by her husband, screenwriter David Allison. Channel 4 staunchly defended the drama , noting Hollick had recused herself from the production, despite initially noting she had “commissioned” the program. Technically, it had come through the Channel 4 acquisitions team, with the drama division only taking over when a funding partner pulled out. The steamy series was a co-production with Starz and led by Eleanor Tomlinson and Sam Heughan among others.
