New 2017/18 tour of Hairspray the Musical announced

Producer Mark Goucher has just confirmed that following the  success of the current UK tour of Hairspray the Musical  which is due to end in May, the new touring production  will return at the end of summer 2017 and visit venues across the country until the spring of 2018.

Casting, dates and locations for the 2017/18 tour will be announced in due course.

The producer of Hairspray Mark Goucher said: “I am delighted that after seeing this new production of Hairspray, Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman have personally extended the rights to the show, in order for us to embark upon a second UK tour. This next tour of Hairspray will give us the opportunity to bring the show to new venues which we were unable to visit in 2015/16 and also to return to theatres which welcomed the show during its current tour.”
