COROnation Street ON STAGE at St James Theatre

COROnation Street ON STAGE! – the hysterical new stage play by award-winning playwright and Coronation Street scriptwriter Jonathan Harvey — specially commissioned by ITV to celebrate Britain’s longest running and most-loved soap – is coming to New Zealand in March and April 2013.

COROnation Street ON STAGE! condenses the programme’s 50-year history of births, deaths, marriages and other dramatic events into one action-packed two-hour show, which won enormous critical acclaim throughout Britain.

And who better than to take us on this journey than the journeyman himself: William Roache — aka serial groom KEN BARLOW.

Relive your favourite moments from The Street – see Tony Gordon’s tangled web of relationships with the Connors unfold, the tram run over Alan, Richard kill Maxine and Gail marry Brian, Martin, Richard and Joe. Original UK Director Fiona Buffini, COROnation Street ON STAGE! features six UK actors playing 56 of your favourite characters!
