⭐ FOURTEEN AGAIN – A NEW VICTORIA WOOD MUSICAL ANNOUNCED ⭐
The world premiere of brand-new musical FOURTEEN AGAIN, with songs by Victoria Wood, has been announced.
Victoria Wood’s long-standing friendships, love of the Lake District and close connection to The Old Laundry Theatre in Bowness-on-Windermere comes full circle, as the intimate theatre is to be renamed The Victoria Wood Theatre in honour of the much loved and talented star, who will continue to shine brightly, when the theatre is officially renamed in January 2026.
In 2026, it will be ten years since Victoria died, and to keep her name alive at the newly named, The Victoria Wood Theatre, what could be more perfect than to bring her genius music and lyrics back to life, with a brand-new musical at the theatre, FOURTEEN AGAIN, using songs from her Victoria Wood Song Book Lucky Bag! With a book by Tom MacRae writer and lyricist of the global hit Everybody’s Talking About Jamie, all is set for a magical new musical, FOURTEEN AGAIN.
The musical FOURTEEN AGAIN begins when Peggy is reunited with Lou at the local Slimming Club, her best friend from school, who she hasn’t seen since they were teenagers. As kids, no two friends were ever funnier or more fun, but here, now, today they are shadows of their younger selves – and a story unfolds of looking back to the future, full of comedy, love and pain, with Victoria’s amazing songs moving the musical fast forward.
FOURTEEN AGAIN will be directed by Jonathan O’Boyle, with musical direction & supervision by Nigel Lilley, lighting design by Jason Taylor, set design by Roger Glossop, costume design by Caroline Hughes and produced by Charlotte Scott.
FOURTEEN AGAIN will play The Victoria Wood Theatre, running from 1st – 23rd May 2026, with tickets on sale now.
Bloomin’ marvelous! ! !
