Queen's Theatre Hornchurch has announced its programme for Spring 2026 and beyond featuring in-house produced work and newly revitalised initiatives to nurture local emerging artists.

Due to overwhelming public demand, THERE’S A MONSTER IN YOUR SHOW is set to head out on a fifth major UK theatre tour in 2026 playing around the country.

Based on Tom Fletcher’s best-selling children’s book and adapted by scriptwriter Miranda Larson, The Creakers musical is an escapade which highlights the very real need for sustainability, through a tale about Lucy and the ‘kidderlings’ of Whiffington. The children wake up to find that all of the adults have mysteriously disappeared and the local waste and recycling issues have oddly all but vanished too.

All new production photos have been released from The Creakers, a musical based on singer-songwriter and author Tom Fletcher’s  best-selling book, adapted by the award-winning Miranda Larson. Check out the photos here!

Casting announced for the new musical adaptation of Tom Fletcher's best-selling book THE CREAKERS. A photo of Tom Fletcher with the cast on the first day of rehearsals has been released.
