Overview
- Producers announced Friday that the limited run will play Salford’s Lowry from August 22 to September 19, 2026.
- Original film actor KayCee Stroh will play drama teacher Ms. Darbus alongside Jason Donovan, Tobias Turley, Leonor Correia, Caitlin Tipping and Luke Bayer.
- The staging will immerse audiences by turning the Lyric Theatre into a basketball court with onstage seating and an extended stage.
- Hope Mill founders Joseph Houston and William Whelton co-direct with choreography by Aaron Renfree and a design team led by Andrew Exeter and George Reeve.
- Billed as the first U.K. non-replica staging, this revival presents a new interpretation rather than recreating an existing version with tickets on sale now.
