Packed with rock n’ roll classics – including ‘Great Balls of Fire’, ‘Good Vibrations’, ‘Heard It Through the Grapevine’ and ‘Born To Be Wild’ – Return to the Forbidden Planet features stunning special effects, a brilliant cast of actor-musicians, a mad scientist, a huge green-tentacled monster and a rock ’n’ roller-skating robot.

The production sees the original design team return, helmed by writer by Bob Carlton, who directed the original West End production.

Bob Carlton commented: “It was an incredible time when Return to the Forbidden Planet landed in West End, in what was a vintage year alongside shows such as Miss Saigon and Buddy. And it’s thanks to the audiences, who took it to their hearts and rocked out every night, that it became such a cult success. I can’t wait to bring it back 25 years later, to introduce it to a whole new generation and to reunite with original fans of the show. I’m thrilled to be able to return to the Forbidden Planet, along with the original design team, and get reacquainted with Captain Tempest and his crew once more!”
