Danny and Oliver reprise their roles after performing in the North American premiere at the Chicago Shakespeare Theatre.

Full casting for the UK tour will be announced soon.

Celebrating the timeless sound of one of Britain's most iconic bands, Sunny Afternoon tells their story through an unforgettable back catalogue of chart-toppers, including “You Really Got Me,” “Lola,” and “All Day and All of the Night.” Set against the backdrop of the rebellious '60s in Britain, this musical packs everything you need for a good time.

The musical, which premiered at the Hampstead Theatre in 2014, transferred to London's Harold Pinter Theatre where it ran for two years ahead of a sell-out UK and Ireland which took place throughout 2016/17.

As part of this brand-new tour, Sunny Afternoon will play at the New Wimbledon Theatre from 25-29 November.
