⭐ THE WAY OLD FRIENDS DO – WEST END TRANSFER ANNOUNCED – CRITERION THEATRE – AUGUST 2023 ⭐
Ian Hallard’s new comedy THE WAY OLD FRIENDS DO will transfer to the West End for a limited run, it has been announced.
Following a critically acclaimed and award nominated Birmingham Rep premiere, Park Theatre run and tour, THE WAY OLD FRIENDS DO will play a strictly limited four-week season at the Criterion Theatre from 17th August 2023.
In 1988, two school friends tentatively come out to one another: one as gay, the other – even more daringly – as an ABBA fan. Nearly thirty years later, a chance meeting sets them on a brand-new path and they decide to form the world’s first ABBA tribute band – in drag! But can their friendship survive the tribulations of a life on the road which includes platform boots, fake beards and a distractingly attractive stranger?
Simultaneously tender and laugh-out loud funny, this heartfelt story will appeal to anyone who understands how it feels to be a fan: of ABBA or of anyone.
It marks the first West End appearance in over a decade of Olivier Award winner Sara Crowe, together with her fellow touring company members reprising their roles including playwright Ian Hallard, under the direction of Mark Gatiss.
THE WAY OLD FRIENDS DO will play the Criterion Theatre, running from 17th August – 9th September 2023, with tickets on sale now.
Fabbalous! ! !
