The show will play eight performances at the New Theatre in Peterborough from 26 November 2021 to 4 December 2021, before it transfers to the Southbank Centre for a run from 8 December to 22 January 2022.

Guy Unsworth directs this production, with choreography by WhatsOnStage Award-nominee Fabian Aloise, acrobatic direction by Danny MacDonald, set design by Libby Watson, costume design by Susan Kulkarni, lighting design by Matt Daw, sound design by Ross Portway, musical supervision by Mark Crossland, musical direction by Sarah Burrell and voice and dialect by Aundrea Fudge.
