Morrissey’s involvement is particularly poignant, having worked with Wood on the original West End run of Acorn Antiques: The Musical! at the Theatre Royal Haymarket in 2005.

What is Fourteen Again about?

Fourteen Again begins at a slimming club, where Peggy is reunited with Lou – her best friend from school who she hasn’t seen since they were teenagers. As children, the two friends were funny and fun, but today, they are shadows of their younger selves.

The story is full of comedy, love and pain, with several Victoria Wood songs moving the musical forward.

Creative team highlights

Directed by Jonathan O’Boyle, the production features musical supervision, arrangement and co-orchestration by Nigel Lilley, choreography by Sammy Murray, set design by Roger Glossop, costume design by Caroline Hughes and lighting by Jason Taylor.

The musical marks a fitting tribute to Wood on the 10th anniversary of her death, drawing on her unparalleled songbook to create a brand-new theatrical experience.
