About This Event

Rita, Sue & Bob Too will be performed at The Old Savoy on 4 May 2027. The production is based on Andrea Dunbar’s play and follows the lives of two working-class girls navigating love and friendship. The show features a humorous script and a nostalgic soundtrack from the 1980s.

Rita, Sue & Bob Too JAKE QUICKENDEN AND HELEN FLANAGAN TO LEAD RITA, SUE & BOB TOO! NATIONWIDE TOUR IN 2027 TV favourite returns as Bob in the cult comedy classic Singer, actor, presenter and TV personality Jake Quickenden rose to fame as a contestant on The X Factor. Following his departure from the show, he was immediately signed up to appear on I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here (where he finished as runner-up). Further casting is yet to be announced. Andrea Dunbar’s hilarious and gritty tale of love, lust and tested friendships is based on the 1987 British film and features a brilliantly funny script along with all the best 80s music, taking audiences on a riotous trip down memory lane through this cult classic. Rita and Sue are two working class girls from a run-down council estate who are about to finish their final year at school. In their spare time, they earn money babysitting for married couple Bob and Michelle. Behind Michelle’s back, Bob embarks on an affair with both Rita and Sue, who take it in turns with him in his car in the countryside. Michelle eventually finds out and leaves lothario Bob. When Bob later develops a preference for Rita, the two girls fall out but when Sue ends up in an abusive relationship, the trio are reunited. Rita, Sue & Bob Too! is brought to the stage by Regal Entertainments Ltd and directed by Chantelle Joseph. When Regal Entertainments Ltd previously toured the smash hit comedy in spring 2025 it received praise from critics and standing ovations from audiences, selling out at venues across the country. Theatregoers described the show as “a fabulous story” and “very funny from start to finish”. Director Chantelle Joseph said: “We’ve had a fabulous reaction to news that Rita, Sue and Bob Too! is going back out on the road for a second UK tour. And I’m really delighted that Jake Quickenden has agreed to return in the role of Bob. “He was a huge hit with audiences up and down the country and really understands the role, so I know this latest outing for Andrea Dunbar’s classic comedy is going to be absolutely brilliant. Roll on 2027!” THIS SHOW IS FOR 18 +
