First look rehearsal images have been released for Fourteen Again, the musical featuring the songs of Victoria Wood, ahead of its transfer to the Menier Chocolate Factory this winter.
The production, directed by Jonathan O’Boyle, opens on 2 December, with previews beginning on 21 November, and runs until 27 February 2027.
The newly released images showcase Neil Morrissey, Ria Jones and Sally Ann Triplett, who lead the cast of the critically acclaimed musical following its premiere earlier this year at the newly renamed Victoria Wood Theatre in Bowness-on-Windermere.
Written by Tom MacRae and featuring music and lyrics by Victoria Wood, Fourteen Again follows Peggy and Lou, two childhood best friends who reunite years later at a local slimming club. As they reconnect, memories of their younger selves resurface in a story that combines comedy, heartbreak and friendship with some of Wood’s most beloved songs.
Neil Morrissey joins the production as Duncan, reuniting with Victoria Wood’s work after appearing in the original West End production of Acorn Antiques: The Musical!. He stars alongside Ria Jones as Lou and Sally Ann Triplett as Peggy.
The musical was commissioned to celebrate Victoria Wood’s legacy as part of the inaugural programme at the renamed Victoria Wood Theatre, marking the tenth anniversary of the beloved writer and comedian’s death.
The creative team includes director Jonathan O’Boyle, musical supervisor Nigel Lilley, choreographer Sammy Murray, set designer Roger Glossop, costume designer Caroline Hughes, lighting designer Jason Taylor and sound designer Sam Glossop.
Rehearsal images released today give audiences their first opportunity to see the company preparing for the London premiere of the production.
