Grandpa's Great Escape Live Heads To UK Arenas In December
Monday, 03 June 2019
Written by Jon Stickler
Grandpa's Great Escape Live will tour the UK this winter.
David Walliams' bestselling book has been adapted for the stage for the first time, with the production opening on December 23 at Birmingham Arena, before heading to London's SSE Arena Wembley, Sheffield's FlyDSA Arena, Nottingham Motorpoint Arena, Manchester Arena, Glasgow's SSE Hydro, and Liverpool's M&S Bank Arena.
The live show follows the BBC One television film which aired in December 2018. The book, meanwhile, was published in 2015. Speaking about the upcoming performances, Walliams said:
"Grandpa's Great Escape Live is an incredible new development for the book. We're not just turning it into a live show, but into a spectacular live arena show for all the family this Christmas.
"Being in arenas means we can have a life-size Spitfire, a tank, the London landscape and a dramatic escape from the Imperial War Museum. It's great because we can really go to town with all of those elements and this story demands that scale.
"I'm delighted to be involved with this arena tour of Grandpa's Great Escape Live, working with fantastic people like the director Sean Foley and Kevin Cecil, who’s written the script. I couldn't be more excited about it!"
Tickets go on general sale at 8am on June 4.
