For the very first time, your favourite songs and characters from the BAFTA Award-winning CBBC TV series will be appearing live (and dead!) on stage in a very special production!

When William Shakespeare is asked to create the greatest show on earth, he’s already facing a tough challenge (he knows he’s good but is he that good?!) but he’s no idea how much trouble he’ll get from monstrous monarchs like Henry VIII, Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria! Things hot up when Death appears – and now Boudica, Napoleon and Cleopatra all want to take over! Can things get any worse? Of course they can!

Featuring a live band, led by the Horrible Histories song master Richie Webb himself, and starring amazing TV actors (to be announced next month)  singing the sensational TV songs, including Charles II, Dick Turpin and a bunch of Vikings that we couldn’t stop barging through the stage door, this is one show you won’t want to miss! Bring your singing voices for a truly Horrible show!
