With the return of musical theatre classics such as Grease, Blood Brothers and Dirty Dancing, as well as the brand-new tour of Just For One Day: The Live Aid Musical, there are plenty of exciting shows now on sale at Leeds Heritage Theatres.

Plus, we’re thrilled to announce the star-studded cast of Cole Porter’s High Society, coming to Leeds Grand Theatre in August.

Unleashed is Simon’s hysterical new show. Packed with outrageous punchlines and electric crowd work, Simon rips into wild swimmers, vape shops, Greta Thunberg, religion and his wife’s friends Claire and Carl.

Despite initially (and repeatedly) vowing not to add any extra dates, the opportunity to continue touring Here Man and tell audiences all about all the stuff that he CAN’T SAY on his hit podcast Shagged Married Annoyed was just too tempting!

Written by Willy Russell, the legendary Blood Brothers tells the captivating and moving tale of twins who, separated at birth, grow up on opposite sides of the tracks, only to meet again with fateful consequences.

Featuring the hit songs Hungry Eyes, Hey! Baby, Do You Love Me? and the heart-stopping (I’ve Had) The Time Of My Life, Dirty Dancing: The Classic Story on Stage explodes with heart-pounding music, breath-taking emotion and sensationally sexy dancing.

The world’s best-loved musical is back! With its phenomenal score, bursting with hits including Summer Nights, Greased Lightnin’, Hopelessly Devoted to You and You’re the One That I Want, this thrilling new version is brought to life by a fresh young cast who bring energy, vitality, and passion to this ultimate musical classic.

Experience the most powerful night of music you’ll ever have at the theatre at Just For One Day: The Live Aid Musical, featuring the most iconic songs from Bob Dylan, David Bowie, The Who, U2, Queen, Madonna, Sting, Elton John, Paul McCartney, Diana Ross and more.

Leeds Actors in Training (LAIT) presents a brand new, ensemble-led adaptation of Medea, exploring the complex feminist questions at the heart of Euripides’ brutal tragedy through bold storytelling, inventive theatricality and an original score.

Part of Leeds’ independent jazz and experimental music scene, Ferg’s Imaginary Big Band has paved its way with relentless enthusiasm and punk ethos, earning it a reputation for explosive live performances that drag big band music kicking and screaming into the 21st century and beyond.

Graffiti Classics is a comedy string quartet that never sits down, bursting the perceived elitist boundaries of traditional classical music with their hilarious all-singing, all-dancing musical comedy show.

A multiple East Coast Music Award winner known for his high-energy banjo-driven stompers, touching guitar ballads and dry, humorous stories, Luedecke has been making a soundtrack to an authentic life for nearly twenty years.

Voted one of the ‘Hottest Bass Players in the World’ by Bass Player magazine, Shez Raja is a boundary-pushing bassist and electrifying performer who has drawn comparisons to Jaco Pastorius., playing a fusion of Indo-jazz, funk and groove.

Direct from a summer season at London’s Barbican Theatre, Helen George – known to millions over the past decade as Trixie in the hit BBC series Call The Midwife – will star as Tracy Lord in a major new tour of Cole Porter’s musical masterpiece High Society, coming to Leeds Grand Theatre from Tue 25 to Sat 29 August 2026.

She is joined by an exciting line-up of stars from both stage and screen, including Freddie Fox (Slow Horses, House of the Dragon), making his musical theatre debut, Julian Ovenden (Bridgerton, Downton Abbey), Nigel Lindsay (Mobland, The Capture), and Malcolm Sinclair (Pie in the Sky).
