International singer-songwriter, and author Tom Fletcher brings his smash hit, bestselling book The Creakers to the stage in a brand-new show for the whole family, beginning performances at the Southbank Centre’s Queen Elizabeth Hall on 18 December 2024 where it will play over the Christmas season until 5 January 2025.

This run follows its world premiere at Theatre Royal Plymouth in October half term.

The Creakers, published by Puffin, has been adapted for the stage by writer Miranda Larson, with music and lyrics by Tom Fletcher and direction & choreography by Theatre Royal Plymouth Associate Director Tom Jackson Greaves. Additional compositions are from McFly’s Danny Jones and Dougie Poynter, co-written with Steve Battelle, with orchestrations by Steve Sidwell.

Ever wondered what you would do if you woke up and all the adults had disappeared? Lucy, and the kids of Whiffington hadn’t, until one morning…that’s exactly what happens!

Expect surprises, adventure and rocking new songs by McFly’s Tom Fletcher as we head on a topsy turvy journey, underneath the bed, to the land of the Creakers, where we discover that it’s often those who are different that make a difference.

Tom Fletcher said: ‘I’m so excited to finally be able to announce that our brand new stage adaptation of The Creakers will transfer to Southbank Centre’s Queen Elizabeth Hall at Christmas following its world premiere in Plymouth. I’ve been working closely with a brilliant team of creatives on the show, and can’t wait for audiences to get the chance to come and see the magical world we are creating for the stage.’

Tickets are on sale to Southbank Centre Members from 27 June at 10am, and general booking is from 10am on 28 June here.
