“The combination of current restrictions on indoor events and a desire to protect the health and safety of our audiences as well as all cast and crew has meant that it is not possible to proceed with the show at this time.

“We are in the process of finalising alternative dates which will be announced as soon as possible. Any tickets purchased for the February dates will remain valid.
