Lerner & Loewe’s glorious, evergreen musical My Fair Lady – with an overflowing bouquet of ravishing songs including The Rain in Spain, I Could Have Danced All Night, With a Little Bit of Luck and Wouldn’t It be Loverly – has never before been produced at Chichester. With its sparkling dialogue, brilliant lyrics, witty story and gorgeous costumes, this 20th century masterpiece has been described as the perfect musical.

Allegra is a brand-new comedy by the celebrated, Tony and Olivier Award-nominated playwright Peter Quilter (End of the Rainbow). Ahead of the 2026 tour and planned West End run, Maureen Lipman (See How They Run, Coronation Street) has been announced for the world premiere. Her first major UK tour in two decades, Lipman is one of Britain's most beloved stage and screen actors, and Allegra marks a new collaboration with Quilter following their West End success with Rose.

Everything you know about witches is wrong. Forget the pointy hats and broomsticks: they’re the most dangerous creatures on earth.

And now they’ve come up with their most evil plan yet.

The only thing standing in their way is Luke and his Gran. But he’s ten and she’s got a dodgy heart. Time is short, danger is everywhere, and they’ve got just one chance to stop the witches from squalloping every stinking little child in England.
