A new UK touring concert has been announced at over 60 venues across the UK. Dreamcoat Stars will feature reimagined versions of musical theatre songs, uniquely performed by cast members who have starred in one of the world’s most well-known musicals: Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. 

West End musical performers including Keith Jack, Blythe Jandoo and Kit Orton, are set to bring the Pitlochry hills alive with the sounds of some of the greatest ever musicals when they perform at Pitlochry Festival Theatre in late June and August.

Forty years on from its debut at the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre in London in 1982, Michael Fryan’s farce-within-a-farce, Noises Off, returns to Pitlochry Festival Theatre as part of their 2022 summer season. The comedy was last performed in Pitlochry in 2010 and this marks the first professional version of the show in the UK post-lockdown.

The sun is certainly shining on Perthshire, as Pitlochry Festival Theatres celebrates the opening of its recently renovated building. A cheery actor-musician revival of The Proclaimers’ jukebox musical Sunshine on Leith opens their 2022 summer season, a co-production in collaboration with Capital Theatres in Edinburgh, directed by Elizabeth Newman and Ben Occhipinti.

With the main building opening for the first time in over two years, Pitlochry Festival Theatre is thrilled to welcome audiences through its doors once again, with a foot-stomping new production of Sunshine on Leith, Stephen Greenhorn's much-loved musical featuring the songs from world-renowned Scottish band The Proclaimers.

Pitlochry Festival Theatre has announced its Ensemble for its 2022 season which takes place this summer between May and October.

Music legend Maureen Nolan will headline as the brilliantly bad Wicked Queen, with CBeebies' Rebecca Keatley playing the fairest of them all, Snow White and musical theatre star Keith Jack as the dashing handsome prince. With further star casting to be announced this festive treat is not to be missed.
