The hit children’s TV show is to tour the UK for the first time ever in a vibrant and new interactive stage show.
Visiting 24 theatres with almost 100 dates the tour marks the biggest ever theatre production of its kind for Live Nation in the UK.
Ben Hatton, Cuffe and Taylor’s Director of Theatre Touring:
“We are incredibly excited to be working with both Kenny Wax and BBC Studios to present Hey Duggee live for the first time ever. The TV show has proved to be an absolute phenomenon and we hope to enjoy the same success in theatres across the UK. This is a great relationship for us all and one that we look forward to developing further.”
Adapted from the smash-hit TV series, Hey Duggee: The Live Theatre Show will tour the UK from December through to summer 2023 and includes a four-week residency at Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall (London) this Christmas.
Hey Duggee is an animated CBeebies show aimed at pre-school children and since bursting onto TV screens in 2014, the BBC and Studio AKA creation has won no fewer than six BAFTAs and is an international Emmy award-winning hit.
Kenny Wax:
“We are so thrilled to be working with Live Nation, Cuffe & Taylor, Studio AKA and BBC Studios to create a brand new stage show with lots of surprises touring the country with a sit-down month in London over Christmas. I can’t wait.”
Hey Duggee: The Live Theatre Show will see Duggee, The Squirrels and friends brought to life through innovative puppetry and storytelling in a fun and inclusive performance packed with laughs, songs, and dance for young fans to enjoy. Now Cuffe and Taylor are working with BBC Studios and Kenny Wax to create a stage show that will be seen across the nation. Kenny Wax has firmly established his production company as a leading producer and general manager in the West End, regionally and around the world.
Mat Way, Global Director of Live Entertainment, Gaming and Interactive at BBC Studios:
“Studio AKA’s Hey Duggee is such a fun and iconic show and we can’t wait to bring the humour and adventures to life for families all around the country. We’re delighted to be working with Kenny Wax and Cuffe and Taylor to introduce young people to the wonders of the theatre.”
