Allegra

Olivier and Tony Award nominated playwright Peter Quilter, the writer behind End of the Rainbow and Glorious!, comes a brand new heart warming comedy with music, created for audiences who love unforgettable charactersand a truly special night at the theatre.

National treasure Dame Maureen Lipman takes centre stage as Allegra, marking her first UK tour in 20 years. Beloved by millions for her role in Coronation Street and celebrated for her extraordinary career across stage and screen, Dame Maureen brings her trademark warmth, wit and emotional depth to this funny and deeply moving new play.

Allegra is full of life, joy and an irresistible urge to sing. She bursts into song at home, in the street and even in the local shops and cafés. Sometimes the orchestra plays only in her imagination. Sometimes it spills gloriously into the real world, much to the delight, confusion and occasional horror of everyone around her.
