The critically acclaimed musical - based on the Oscar-nominated smash hit movie - will end its year-long residency at the Garrick Theatre in London on 25th August before embarking on a major UK National Tour from September 2019.

The final performance at the Garrick Theatre will be on Saturday 25 August 2018.
