Following a sell-out arena tour of the UK in 2007, and a sell-out tour of New Zealand and Australia in 2008, Bill Bailey returns to the UK for a run at the Gielgud Theatre.
Following a sell-out arena tour of the UK in 2007, and a sell-out tour of New Zealand and Australia in 2008, Tinselworm returns to the UK for a run at the Gielgud Theatre. As in any Bill Bailey show, the subject matter is broad ranging; tattoos, marketing, doorbells, Emo, creationism, post-war banking secrecy, travellers' tales and the alternate reality that is Bill's world - spun together with the sparkling thread of a seasonal invertebrate.
It has all the trademark Bailey elements; lyrical dexterity, tangential silliness and musical brilliance plus animation by award-winning film maker, Joe Magee, all of which combine to make this a verbal and visual treat. Be an early bird so as not to miss your last chance to catch The Tinselworm.
Additional performances now onsale for 22nd, 23rd, 29th and 30th December.

Now showing at Gielgud Theatre

Gielgud Theatre
Shaftesbury Avenue
London

This theatre, which is designed in Louis XVI style, is a pair with the Queen's Theatre on the adjacent street corner. Originally called The Hicks Theatre, after actor-manager Seymour Hicks for whom it was built, the name was changed to The Globe in July 1909, and then in November 1994 the name was changed to The Gielgud in honour of the actor, aswell as to avoid confusion with the reconstructed Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. The Gielgud Theatre, now refurbished in 1987, is notable for it's circular Regency staircase and oval gallery.

Terence Frisby's "There's A Girl in my Soup" opened here in 1966 and had a long run of 1,064 performances, a run that was not surpassed until Andrew Lloyd Webber's production of the comedy "Daisy Pulls it Off" opened in April 1983 and lasted 1,180 performances, this theatre's record for the longest run. In 1987 Peter Shaffer's sucessful play "Lettice and Lovage" opened, with Maggie Smith and Margaret Tyzack in the original cast, and run for 2 years. In 1992 a revival of Oscar Wilde's classic comedy, "An Ideal Husband", directed by Peter Hall opened here and enjoyed a successful run of 7 months, this production was then restaged in 1996 at the Haymarket Theatre, before it transferred to Broadway.
