UK tour of MY BEST FRIEND’S WEDDING cancelled

The upcoming UK tour of My Best Friend’s Wedding, starring Alexandra Burke, has regrettably been cancelled.

Producers are still said to be exploring opportunities to revisit the show but today’s statement said: "The UK tour of My Best Friend's Wedding which was scheduled to open at the Palace Theatre, Manchester on 20 September, 2021 is, unfortunately, not going ahead."

"Successfully launching a new musical on tour is never easy, but continuing uncertainty and its hugely damaging effect on consumer confidence has made a difficult task into an impossible one."

The producers have full confidence in the show itself, and hope to find a way of re-visiting it at a time and in circumstances that will afford it the best possible chance of enjoying the success it deserves."

Fingers crossed it will still go ahead in the future, Besties.
