📢NEW ON SALE 📢

Ageing has never been so entertaining! Two brilliant shows celebrating the highs, lows and laughs of getting older are on sale now.

🚴 WOBIL – Wise Old Bu**er In Lycra is the final chapter in the much-loved cycling trilogy. The lycra is a little tighter, the hills a little steeper, and getting to the finish line takes a bit more determination—but the laughs are bigger than ever.

🔥 Menopause The Musical returns, bringing its laugh-out-loud mix of hot flushes, mood swings, memory lapses and classic hit parodies back to stages across the country. It's a hilarious, heart-warming celebration of "The Change" that audiences can't get enough of.

🎟️ Whether you're embracing the change, tackling the hills, or just looking for a great night out, grab tickets to one—or both—today!
