Venue
Liverpool’s Empire Theatre is a true mainstay of the city, ever since the venue’s initial opening in 1866. But a demolition of the original Empire would lead to the modern Empire opening in 1924. From there, the Empire would become a focal point for the UK’s top touring theatre shows. Indeed, so many iconic productions regularly come to Liverpool’s Empire Theatre. Furthermore, the list of performers to grace the Empire stage over the years reads like a who’s who. In addition, the Empire’s location is pivotal, with its positioning directly in front of Lime Street Station. The Empire has a total capacity of 2,381, with frequent sell-outs throughout the annual theatre calendar. Simply put, the Empire Theatre is amongst the UK’s top entertainment venues and an ideal backdrop for a classic night of theatre.
Tour
The musical opens at New Victoria Theatre in Woking from August 17-21 2021. Then, it moves onto Milton Keynes, Dartford, Salford, Glasgow and Stoke-On-Trent. From there, the tour enters Liverpool’s Empire Theatre from October 19-23 2021. Subsequent stops include Nottingham, Cardiff, Sheffield, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Bradford, Newcastle and Oxford. Finally, the show concludes at Churchill Theatre in Bromley from March 1-5 2022, with further dates and locations awaiting confirmation.
