The stage production of Kim’s Convenience is heading out on a UK tour in 2025.
Following successful runs at the Park Theatre and Riverside Studios in London, the show will tour to Leeds, Derby, Kingston upon Thames, Southend-on-Sea, Brighton, Manchester, Peterborough, Newcastle upon Tyne, Glasgow, Oxford, Leicester, Coventry, Ipswich, Bromley, York, Darlington, and Birmingham.
The show will star James Yi as Appa, who also stars in the hit Netflix version of Kim’s Convenience. His other credits include The Interview and Gabby Duran & The Unsittables.
The award-winning play is written by Ins Choi, who also starred in the Park and Riverside runs.
The director is Esther Jun, and Set and costume design is by Mona Camille.
Further casting and creatives are to be announced.
Actor James Yi said in a statement: “Kim’s Convenience has literally changed my life. This play continues to open new doors for me, like getting to go all the way to the UK to tour the show with an amazing cast and production team! I feel like I’m in a dream that I never want to wake up from.”
Producer Adam Blanshay said: “We’re delighted that Kim’s Convenience continues to capture the hearts of its audiences and that people around the United Kingdom will get to experience this universally beautiful story, which embraces family, cultural heritage, and the legacies we leave behind.”
Park Theatre’s Artistic Director Jez Bond said: “I am thrilled that after the success of its sell-out run with us and subsequent transfer to Riverside Studios, Kim’s Convenience will be touring the county – enabling audiences in the regions to enjoy this funny, poignant and entertaining show.”
