The Dolly Parton Musical is coming to Wearside!

Here You Come Again

Sunderland Empire 

Tuesday 11 - Saturday 15 February 2025


Simon Friend Entertainment and Leeds Playhouse are delighted to announce that, Here You Come Again - which is currently spreading joy across the country on a UK tour – will now also visit Sunderland Empire from Tuesday 11 to Saturday 15 February 2025.

We saw the show earlier in the summer and found it to be “a joyous celebration of the human spirit“. Read our review here: http://www.northeasttheatreguide.co.uk/2024/06/review-here-you-come-again-at-newcastle.html 

For the first time ever, all of Dolly Parton’s biggest hits are brought together in a rollicking and joyful new musical comedy, fully authorised by Dolly herself. Packed with iconic songs like Jolene, 9 to 5, Islands in the Stream, I Will Always Love You, Here You Come Again and more, this lively and touching new musical tells the story of a diehard fan whose imagined version of international icon Dolly Parton gets him through trying times.

Originally written by multi-Emmy award-winning comedy and songwriter Bruce Vilanch with Gabriel Barre (who also directs) and writer and actor Tricia Paoluccio (who co-writes and stars as Dolly). Acclaimed British TV and theatre writer Jonathan Harvey (Gimme, Gimme, Gimme and Coronation Street) provides additional material for the production's UK run.

The wider creative team comprises Gabriel Barre as Director; Set and Costume Designer, Paul Wills; Choreographer, Lizzie Gee; Lighting Designer, Tim Deiling; Sound Designer, Tom Marshall; Associate Director/Assistant Choreographer, Teenie MacLeod; Illusion Designer, Richard Pinner; Orchestrator, Eugene Gwozdz; Orchestra Manager, Maurice Cambridge; Production Manager, Ben Arkell and Casting Director, Stuart Burt.

Here You Come Again is produced by Simon Friend Entertainment and Leeds Playhouse, in association with Jenny King, Patrick Gracey and Vibecke Dahle.
