A hit show is heading to the stage in Somerset as part of a 36-date UK tour.

That’ll Be The Day will open its autumn run with two nights at the Playhouse in Weston-super-Mare, performing on Friday, August 28, and Saturday, August 29, before heading to Yeovil's Westlands Entertainment Venue on Thursday, September 3.

The production features electrifying performances, comedy sketches, and chart-topping hits spanning the 1950s to the 1980s in a feel-good rock-and-roll theatre experience.

Trevor Payne, director, producer, and vocalist, said: "One of the secrets behind our success is the dedication and hard work of the entire company.

"I’m especially proud that what began as performances in clubs and holiday camps has evolved into the UK’s number one touring rock and roll theatre show in the country.

"Unlike any other act I know, That’ll Be The Day refreshes its content annually and strives to improve production year on year.

"It is unique in many ways and continues to captivate and delight our loyal army of fans across the country."

Tickets to all shows on the tour can be purchased at thatllbetheday.com/autumn-tour-2026.

The show promises a nostalgic night out, encouraging audiences to sing along, tap their feet, and revel in the atmosphere.

The cast includes Trevor Payne, Ollie Gray, Gary Anderson, Eduardo Neto, Lotty Anderson, Nikki Renee Hechavarria-Wright, Sean McAusland, Jarrod Loughlin, Mark Street, and Jodie Gray.

That’ll Be The Day has also raised more than £1m for charities through post-show collections supporting Childline, Make A Wish, Help for Heroes, the Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation, and other appeals including the Red Cross Ukraine Appeal.
