To Sir, With Love A New Musical UK tour, Digi Mart USA News (United Kingdom): Producers QUBE Theatricals have announced that To Sir, With Love A New Musical will begin its UK tour at Leeds Grand Theatre on 15 April, ahead of an official open night gala on 21 April in support of the Ben Kinsella Trust.
The production will then travel on a curated UK tour with limited engagements at Hull’s New Theatre, Manchester Palace Theatre and London’s New Wimbledon Theatre. The cast will be led by Olivier Award-winning actor Matt Henry MBE as Mr.
Braithwaite.
Joining him is Olivier-nominated actress Amy Di Bartolomeo as Ms Blanchard, former EastEnders star Lucy Benjamin as Ms Dale-Evans, Ben Richards as Mr. Florian, and Strictly Come Dancing 2015 runner-up and Coronation Street star Georgia May Foote as Pamela Dare.
Marking the 60th anniversary of the 1967 film, the musical adapts E.R. Braithwaite’s memoir and features the title song made famous by Lulu, written by Don Black and Mark London, alongside original music and lyrics by John Farrar and Kara DioGuardi.
The book is by Kris Lythgoe and direction by Sheldon Epps.
Following two sold-out concert performances at London’s Gillian Lynne Theatre in November 2025, featuring Lulu and Wayne Brady, the show returns to the UK stage in a fully staged production. Director Sheldon Epps said the story is personally meaningful to him and described it as a joy and an honour to bring to the stage.
Producer Kris Lythgoe said the team hopes to bring the iconic story to a new generation and celebrate teachers. Tickets are on sale through theatre websites and at www.tosirwithlovemusical.com.
