The show, which last toured in 2018, has a book by Chris D'Arienzo and features a raft of iconic rock numbers. It ran on Broadway from 2009 to 2015, with a West End premiere in 2011.
Commencing its tour in Portsmouth on 6 May 2021, it will then visit Manchester, Working, Stoke-on-Trent, Poole, Birmingham, Glasgow, Llandudno, Edinburgh, Sunderland and Crawley, with tickets for most dates on sale soon.
We just can't fight this feelin' anymore….so getting the show back on the road in 2021 feels like a rockin' good idea. https://t.co/3I6GM8EYhl pic.twitter.com/2Ik2OIil3l
