The show had its premiere at The Victoria Wood Theatre in Bowness-on-Windermere this spring, where Jones and Triplett first performed the roles. Both actors have history with Victoria Wood: Triplett created the role of Miss Berta in the original West End production of the musical Acorn Antiques: The Musical!, while Jones played Mrs Overall in the show's first national tour.

The creative team includes director Jonathan O’Boyle, musical supervisor, arranger and co-orchestrator Nigel Lilley, choreographer Sammy Murrray, set designer Roger Glossop, costume designer Caroline Hughes, lighting designer Jason Taylor, sound designer Sam Glossop, and musical director and co-orchestrator Archie McMorran.

Full casting will be announced in due course.
