Muriel Heslop is back! In this highly-anticipated UK premiere, the iconic Australian film is set to become an equally iconic laugh-out-loud musical.

The film’s original writer-director PJ Hogan has updated his screenplay into a dazzling new stage show, bringing the story into the present but keeping all the irreverence and naughtiness of the film along with its dark edge.

Director Simon Phillips (Priscilla Queen of the Desert) leads a stellar creative team, with eye-popping sets and costumes from Gabriela Tylesova (Love Never Dies), choreography by Andrew Hallsworth (Priscilla) and original music by award-winning singer-songwriters Kate Miller-Heidke and Keir Nuttall and – of course – the iconic ABBA songs.

The UK production of Muriel’s Wedding will premiere at the Curve Leicester from 10 April to 10 May 2025. There’s no current news of a West End transfer for the show, but check back for details or sign-up for alerts.

Undateable. Unemployable. Unstoppable.

Stuck in a dead-end life in Porpoise Spit, Muriel dreams of the perfect wedding – the white dress, the church, the attention. Unfortunately, there’s one thing missing. A groom. Following her dreams to Sydney, Muriel ends up with everything she ever wanted – a man, a fortune and a million Twitter followers. That’s when things start to go really wrong.
