Kai – Evolution

After dazzling audiences up and down the country, the smash-hit KAI – EVOLUTION tour is set to go back out on the road in 2026.

Sharing his evolution from where it all started as a young competition dancer to becoming a star of the hit BBC show Strictly Come Dancing, KAI WIDDRINGTON oozes charm and talent with an abundance of on-stage charisma.

Kai – Evolution takes audience members on a mesmerising journey through an array of dance genres, showcasing Kai’s versatility and passion for dance. The tour features breathtaking choreography, stunning visuals, and an incredible cast of dancers, combining a mix of classic Ballroom, Latin, and innovative dance routines that showcase Kai’s extraordinary skill and creativity.

On the return of the show, Kai says “I had the most incredible time on my first ever solo tour EVOLUTION. It was such a fun and creatively brilliant show thanks to our whole team that we just had to bring it back again for 2026.”

“…the performance is flawless…Widdrington dominates the stage with both his physical presence and charm” – Muddy Stiletto.

Beyond the Barricade

Beyond the Barricade, the UK’s longest running Musical Theatre Concert Tour, is back. Join the cast for two hours of the best of Broadway and the West End, featuring the songs that have made audiences return over and over again for more than 25 years. Enjoy numbers from The Phantom of the Opera, Jesus Christ Superstar, West Side Story, The Lion King, Blood Brothers, Miss Saigon, Hamilton and many others, climaxing with a spectacular finale from, of course, Les Misérables!

The concert tour will feature Andy Reiss, David Fawcett, Katie Leeming and Sarah Ryan who have all played principal roles in both the West End and UK Tours of Les Misérables, together with a live band who capture the feel of the original orchestrations of the chosen musicals.

To this day every musical note is still played and sung live – very rare indeed. Beyond the Barricade gives musical theatre songs a bold concert format treatment – but with the conviction and intention to deliver the material as if the audience are watching the original performance.

The Glenn Miller & Big Band Spectacular

The music that filled the dancehalls during the Big Band era is brought to life again by The Moonlight Serenade Orchestra UK. The hardest swinging big band in the UK recreates the million sellers of the 40’s and 50’s.

The acclaimed British Moonlight Serenade Orchestra UK, directed by band leader Kevin Cunningham, has wowed audiences across the country. From playing under the wing of a bomber at the American Air Museum, to sold-out performance at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the Moonlight Serenade Orchestra always hits the right note.

Stewart Lee vs The Man-Wulf

In this brand new show, Lee shares his stage with a tough-talking werewolf comedian from the dark forests of the subconscious who hates humanity. The Man-Wulf lays down a ferocious comedy challenge to the culturally irrelevant and physically enfeebled Lee. Can the beast inside us all be silenced with the silver bullet of Lee’s unprecedentedly critically acclaimed style of stand-up?

Stewart Lee (“The world’s greatest living stand-up comedian” The Times), is in danger of being left behind. He’s approaching sixty with debilitating health conditions, his TV profile has diminished, and his once BAFTA award-winning style of stand-up seems obsolete. But can Lee unleash his inner Man-Wulf to position himself alongside comedy legends like Dave Chappelle, Ricky Gervais and Jordan Peterson at the forefront of side-splitting stadium-stuffing sh*t-posting?

Show running time: approx. 2 hours plus interval

Age guidance: 14+
