Producer Simon Fielder of Simon Fielder Productions, a former actor in the original touring and West End show, said: “It’s been an incredibly difficult couple of years for us all.

"So many plans put on hold or dashed completely. We had hoped to tour more extensively last year, but audience and venue uncertainty made this impossible.

"So, we are absolutely delighted to finally get back on the road and on stage and allow people to put life’s problems out of their heads for a couple of hours and enjoy a fabulous party with Buddy and the boys.
