“I would rather have thirty minutes of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing special.”

You’ve seen the classic film, now experience the live stage production of Robert Harling’s Steel Magnolias.

Steel Magnolias is the hilarious and heart-warming story that inspired the hit film starring Dolly Parton and Julia Roberts. The beloved film is now beautifully brought to life on stage by Laura Main (Call the Midwife), Diana Vickers (Dial M For Murder), Harriet Thorpe (Absolutely Fabulous, The Brittas Empire) Lucy Speed (The Bill), Caroline Harker (A Touch of Frost) and Elizabeth Ayodele (Playboy of the West Indies).

The strength of female friendship comes alive through fast, funny dialogue and vibrant, endearing characters in this powerful and heart-warming comedy. This iconic comedy is the perfect ticket for every generation and proves that one hair appointment might just change your life.
