This award-winning musical comedy tours the UK direct from an acclaimed West End season. The unlikely story of a Catalan matador who inherits a Norfolk barbershop unravels in this delightfully madcap show packed with laughs, tears and stampeding cows.

Will our young hero manage to enchant the locals with his continental flair? How will he fare against local favourite Trevor Sorbet in a frenzied, high-stakes, coiffeurs' cut-off? Can he win the heart of the beautiful town crier? And will he ever leave Norfolk again?

Barbershopera got rave reviews at the Edinburgh Fringe in both 2008 and 2009, winning Best Lyrics at the Musical Theatre Matters awards in both years.

‘A delightfully cod opera of equally balanced melodrama and idiocy. Pitch perfect.'

- Metro

‘Four-part harmonic perfection. An incredibly funny, ridiculously silly piece of theatre.'

‘Nimble, musically accomplished and extravagantly silly... the performances are a joy.' - The Times

‘With remarkably accomplished and effortlessly enjoyable comedy such as this, barbershop might just regain some of its long-lost kudos.' - Chortle
