Gary Barlow is bringing his theatrical one man stage show, A Different Stage, to London’s West End, with more dates now on sale, due to unprecedented demand. Gary will now perform at The Duke of York’s Theatre from 30 August to 25 September 2022.
A Different Stage premiered in February to a rapturous reception from his delighted fans. He has since played to sell-out audiences around the UK, including four very special shows at the community centre in his hometown of Frodsham, as well as York, Salford, Liverpool and Edinburgh.
After London’s West End, the tour will continue around the UK & Ireland. Full dates below:
Truro Hall for Cornwall – 27 – 28 September
Salford The Lowry Lyric Theatre – 4 – 8 October
Newcastle Tyne Theatre – 11 & 12 October
Aylesbury Waterside Theatre – 19-21 October
Dublin Gaiety Theatre – 26 – 29 October
Southend Palace Theatre 1 – 4 November
Portsmouth New Theatre Royal – 7 – 11 November
Nottingham Playhouse – 13 – 15 November
A Different Stage, which Gary Barlow created with his long-time friend and collaborator, Tim Firth, is an intimate evening with Gary, as he recounts, with humour, some tears and unflinching honesty, his life story. Of course, along the way, there will be some music, but some of which will be a surprise to many.
Gary said: “Now I’ve done shows where it has just been me and a keyboard. I’ve done shows where I sit and talk to people. I’ve done shows where I’ve performed as part of a group. But this one, well, it’s like all of those, but none of them. When I walk out this time, it’s going to be a very different stage altogether.”
A Different Stage is directed by Tim Firth, with design by Es Devlin, lighting by Bruno Poet and sound design by Gareth Tucker.
