Hey yo, Westerberg! Following two smash hit West End seasons at the Theatre Royal Haymarket, a record breaking season at The Other Palace, a 2021 UK tour and winning the WhatsOnStage Award for ‘BEST NEW MUSICAL’ in 2019, Heathers the Musical  is back bringing the BIG FUN to venues across the UK and Ireland in 2023.

Produced by  Bill Kenwright  and  Paul Taylor-Mills , this high octane, black comedy, rock musical based on one of the greatest cult teen films of all-time starred Winona Ryder and Christian Slater, is back with a bang!

Greetings and salutations! Welcome to Westerberg High,  where popularity is so very a matter of life and death, and Veronica Sawyer is just another of the nobodies dreaming of a better day.

But when she’s unexpectedly taken under the wings of the three beautiful and impossibly cruel Heathers, her dreams of popularity finally start to come true.

Until JD turns up, the mysterious teen rebel who teaches her that it might kill to be a nobody, but it’s murder being a somebody.

The award-winning writing team,  Laurence O’Keefe  and  Kevin Murphy ’s hit musical adaptation has enjoyed successful runs in Los Angeles and New York, and its European premiere saw it become the highest grossing show at The Other Palace, having sold over 20,000 tickets across the run and selling out prior to its opening gala performance. It had a similar success on transferring to the Theatre Royal Haymarket.

NEWS... BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT

Neighbours announces nationwide 40th anniversary cast tour

Share this with

Cult soap opera Neighbours has announced that a number of their cast members will be once again flying from Melbourne to the UK for a nationwide tour in 2025.

The Ramsay Street residents were last in our country last year, prior to commencement of filming of the new series of Neighbours on Amazon Freevee, where  they embarked on a sell-out fifteen date Celebration Tour.

It’s been a troubling time for the show in recent years, having been cancelled by broadcaster Channel 5 in 2022 – but this wasn’t the first time it was taken off the air.

Originally broadcast on the Seven Network, the show didn’t rate well outside of Melbourne where it is produced, and after eight months the final episode aired.

However, rival Channel 10 saw potential in the programme and picked it up for a new run two months later.

The hugely successful revival saw additional sets added, new families and some now very familiar faces –  Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan and Guy Pearce  – joining the cast.

It also became Australia’s biggest media export, first arriving on BBC One in the UK in a shakeup to their daytime lineup in autumn 1986, before moving to Channel 5 in 2008. 

In a soap twist nobody saw coming, streaming giants  Amazon picked Neighbours up  and new episodes have aired daily on their ad-supported service Freevee since last September. 

Last month, the serial reached a  huge landmark of 9,000 episodes , and was celebrated with a number of nods to the past.

The upcoming tour will be hosted by Sky News anchor and self professed superfan Leah Boleto, who also appeared on last year’s road trip.

Cast will make appearances in 6 venues across the UK including the world-famous London Palladium, which first welcomed the show to perform as part of the Royal Variety Performance in 1988.

Neighbours 40th Tour dates and venues

• Monday 3rd February 2025: Symphony Hall, Birmingham
• Wednesday 5th February 2025: City Hall, Newcastle
• Friday 7th February 2025: SEC Armadillo, Glasgow
• Wednesday 12th February 2025: London Palladium
• Sunday 16th February 2025: Millennium Centre, Cardiff
• Tuesday 18th February 2025: Bridgewater Hall, Manchester

Organisers have teased a new star line-up, never before-heard stories and surprises plus all the inside scoop on what life is really like in Erinsborough.

Last year, Alan Fletcher (Karl Kennedy), Jackie Woodburne (Susan Kennedy), Stefan Dennis (Paul Robinson), Ryan Maloney (Toadfish Rebecchi), Annie Jones (Jane Harris) and April-Rose Pengilly (Chloe Brennan) took to the stage, but next year’s names have yet to be announced.

The news comes just weeks after Ryan announced his own solo tour .

In an exclusive interview with Metro.co.uk, he told us:

‘I think it’s going to be a little bit different,’

‘I want it to be a sort of cross between television aspects and theatre at the same time and just bring to the forefront that I’m a performer and I’ve been doing it since I was eight years old on stage, doing musicals and comic theatre and performing and hosting – all that kind of jazz

‘I think it’s time to let people in and show them something a bit different, [so they can] see what Ryan’s really like.’

Tickets will go on general sale on 10th April at 10am with a pre-sale on 8th April also at 10am.

Neighbours cast set to return to London with 40th anniversary tour

Calling all Neighbours fans! The cast have announced their return to London with a 40th anniversary tour. 

Familiar faces from Ramsay Street will travel the UK in February 2025 to celebrate four decades of the show’s history.

It follows the success of The Celebration Tour of 2023, and will be running across 5 dates in Birmingham, Cardiff, Glasgow, Manchester and at the world-famous London Palladium , home to some of the biggest entertainment shows in London.

There will be a new line-up, new stories, and a brand-new reason to celebrate in the tour which will be hosted once again by presenter Leah Boleto.

The audience can expect surprises, never before-heard stories, and all the inside scoop on what life is truly like in Erinsborough. The night promises to be the ultimate toast to over 9000 episodes of Neighbours. 

Neighbours originally debuted in 1985 and first aired in the UK in 1986 on BBC One. In November 2022, it was announced that Amazon Freevee and Fremantle had agreed to a deal that would restart the series .

However, the fate of the show hangs in the air as it's new home is set to be shut down just months into the new run.

Kylie Minogue, who got her start on the show, said that said she was "baffled" by the news of the soaps return because "everyone went to a lot of effort" for what was initially thought to be the "last-ever" episode.

In 2023 six cast members toured the UK for the sell-out Neighbours – The Celebration Tour.

It’s long been a burning desire to collaborate on a Broadway production of such magnitude that speaks so beautifully and intimately to all people about our shared time on the planet.”
