Tickets for the show, a sensation in New York and Las Vegas, will go on sale on Friday November 1, although members can buy earlier next week. 

Expect a side-splitting musical comedy packed with scenes from all ten seasons of the NBC series, which ran from 1994 to 2004 and made huge stars of Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer.

This uncensored, fast-paced romp features an entirely original musical score and showcases the escapades of the world’s most famous group of twenty-somethings as they tackle the challenges of work, life and love in 1990s Manhattan.

Join Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe in Central Perk. Whether you're in a love triangle, trying to make it as an actor, or just can’t quit your day job, you’ll be laughing, crying, and quoting your favourite lines all night long!

Friends! The Musical Parody will be directed by Michael Gyngell, who previously worked on The Full Monty, with full casting for the show to be announced soon.

The show is to be created and debuted at The Barn in Cirencester next summer, followed by a UK and Ireland tour to venues in cities including York, Nottingham, Dublin, Chester and Cardiff. A West End run will follow.

The finale of Friends, in May 2004, remains the most watched TV episode of the century.

The beloved sitcom is still constantly aired around the world and has earned a whole new audience among teens and those not able to watch it first time around.
