The award-winning show ran in a sold-out tour in the UK, pre-pandemic, between 2018-2019. The musical has also successfully ran on Broadway and London's West End and was made into a major Hollywood film starring a certain Tom Cruise.

The show offers escapism taking audiences back to a time 'where the dreams are as big as the hair'.

This year's programme was written by Chris D’Arienzo, arrangements and orchestrations were overseen by Ethan Popp. It is directed and choreographed by Nick Winston (“Chess”, “Mame” and “Cats”) designed by Morgan Large (“The Woman in White”, “Joseph and the Technicolour Dreamcoat” and “Tell Me On A Sunday”) and has lighting design by Ben Cracknell (“Sunset Boulevard”, “Pantoland at the Palladium”, “Priscilla Queen of the Desert”). Sound design is by Ben Harrison (“Mame”, “Priscilla Queen of the Desert” and “Fame”) and musical supervision is by Barney Ashworth (“Sunny Afternoon”, “Grease” and “Mrs Henderson Presents”).

If you can't catch the show in Milton Keynes, the all-encompassing UK Tour will also visit venues across the entirety of the UK including stops in Birmingham and Glasgow, full details can be found here.
