Twiggy The Musical tour postponed

Twiggy The Musical, based on the life and career of fashion icon Twiggy, has been postponed.

The tour of the new musical was originally scheduled to open at the Cheltenham Everyman Theatre in September, and then tour to venues including Sheffield and Belfast.

However, producers issued a statement saying that: “In order to further develop the project and ensure the highest quality production that the story deserves, Twiggy The Musical will be rescheduled for a later date.”

The musical is written and directed by Ben Elton (We Will Rock You, Blackadder), and originally premiered at the Menier Chocolate Factory in London.

The show features classic songs including “The Air That I Breathe”, “You Don’t Own Me”, “Your Love Keeps Lifting Me Higher and Higher”, “Somebody to Love”, “Downtown” and “Just One Look”.

The brand new version of the musical was to be produced by The Everyman Theatre Cheltenham in association with The Menier Chocolate Factory.

The show charts the remarkable rise of Twiggy from the leafy suburbs to the fashion capitals of the world. Experience the extraordinary highs and lows of a British icon and one of the world’s most loved models, singers and actress.

Ben Elton is currently performing a major stand-up comedy tour, with his Ben Elton – Authentic Stupidity show extending into 2025, including a West End run at the Lyceum Theatre.
