THE DRIFTERS GIRL announces first UK tour dates

Michael Harrison and David Ian have announced the first 2023/24 tour dates for The Drifters Girl, the new musical which tells the remarkable story of one of the world's greatest vocal groups and the woman who made them.

Having thrilled audiences at the Garrick Theatre in London's West End since November 2021 (where it played following a triumphant run at Newcastle's Theatre Royal earlier that autumn), the tour will begin at the Mayflower Theatre, Southampton, on 12 September 2023.

The musical will then go on to visit Norwich, Sheffield, Bradford, Manchester, Milton Keynes, Leicester, Southend, Newcastle, Woking, Dartford, and Bristol, with further venues for 2024 to be announced.

The Drifters Girl, with a book by Ed Curtis, is based on an idea by Tina Treadwell, and is co-created by Beverley Knight, Adam J Bernard, Tarinn Callender, Matt Henry and Tosh Wanogho-Maud. It is directed by Jonathan Church, with set design by Anthony Ward, choreography by Karen Bruce, costumes by Fay Fullerton, orchestrations and musical supervision by Chris Egan, lighting by Ben Cracknell, sound by Tom Marshall, video design by Andrzej Goulding, and casting by Stuart Burt.

The touring production's cast is to be revealed at a later date.
