Following a sell out run at Newcastle Theatre Royal last October, the smash-hit North East tale of two Geordie lads desperate to get their hands on a pair of converted Newcastle United season tickets, heads to the West End for a limited run.

Gerry and Sewell, based on Jonathan Tulloch's novel The Season Ticket and the cult Geordie film Purely Belter, will have a two-week long run at the Aldwych Theatre, ahead of Shadowlands starring Hugh Bonneville.

Written and directed by Jamie Eastlake and co-produced by Newcastle Theatre Royal, this football-fanatic production’s journey mirrors the story at its heart – that of two underdogs daring to chase the impossible. Gerry and Sewell made it's debut in a 60-seat pub theatre in Whitley Bay in 2022, before a transfer to Newcastle's Live Theatre in 2023. The play then played to packed out houses during its week-long run at the Newcastle Theatre Royal in 2024.

Bringing together live music, puppet dogs and the magic of Wor Flags (plus the odd star cameo), Gerry & Sewell is both a love letter to Newcastle and a universal story of perseverance, loyalty and hope. It is a wild, funny and heartfelt tribute to black-and-white dreams.

Original cast members Dean Logan, Jack Robertson and Becky Clayburn will make their West End debuts, alongside Erin Mullen, who joined the company for the run at Newcastle Theatre Royal. Further casting is to be announced.

Gerry & Sewell will play at the Aldwych Theatre from 13 - 24 January 2026.
