Milton Keynes Theatre announce line-up for 2025 spring season

Milton Keynes Theatre has revealed details of a line-up of shows coming to its stage for the spring season in the early stages of 2025.

A mix of shows including musicals, comedy, drama, plays and more can be expected at the venue in 2025, with plenty of shows booked in the months ahead.

This season starts with the final performances of Milton Keynes Theatre’s yearly pantomime, which is currently playing at the venue.

The current Christmas pantomime is Peter Pan, including Strictly judge Craig Revel Horwood in a starring role, and which opened earlier this month.

Musicals coming to the venue Olivier, Tony® & Grammy® award-winning Dear Evan Hansen, legendary Rock’n’roll musical The Rocky Horror Show (starring Adam Strong), and the Northampton-set musical Kinky Boots (which stars Strictly Come Dancing’s Johannes Radebe and rising star Dan Partridge).

During March and April, Milton Keynes will also host two of the hottest musical productions currently touring across the UK.

The theatre will host Only Fools & Horses The Musical, which is an adaptation based on the much-loved TV show of the 80s, and following that, the new musical & Juliet makes its debut at MK Theatre, following the Shakespeare heroine’s new life after Romeo.

Multiple music-based one-night performances will also be held at MK Theatre, including Queen of the Night – A Tribute to Whitney Houston, Sing-a-Long-a The Greatest Showman, The Illegal Eagles, and Anton Du Beke – At the Musicals.

Drama fans will be catered for with plays coming to Milton Keynes over the next few months. Ghost Stories is a horror story based around a theatrical experience to keep attendees tense throughout. Alternatively, the theatre will host a classic whodunit in the form of Murder on the Orient Express, which is an adaptation of the Agatha Christie novel.

Families can enjoy two shows by Horrible Histories live on stage, with both Awful Egyptians and Terrible Tudors coming this February. Meanwhile, those who are looking for a more mature evening at the theatre can take in Buffy Revamped, which brings a satirical take on the iconic TV show to Milton Keynes for one night only.

Milton Keynes Theatre will also welcome A-List comedians for an evening of standup, with the likes of Milton Jones, Jimmy Carr, Jason Manford, Jack Dee, and Paul Chowdhry coming to the venue.

Dance fans in Milton Keynes also have multiple things for them coming up. Carlos Acosta’s Nutcracker in Havana will bring a festive flavour to the stage, while Strictly fans can look forward to the return of Giovanni Pernice with The Last Dance.

Later in the season, avant-garde South Korean choreographer Eun-Me Ahn brings her newest production, Dragons, to local audiences. Finally, Matthew Bourne’s Swan Lake returns in April, with the theatre hosting the latest presentation of the most successful dance theatre production of all time.

The Spring season concludes with the return of War Horse, based on the unforgettable novel by Michael Morpurgo and centred around life-sized horses by South Africa’s Handspring Puppet Company, who bring breathing, galloping, charging horses to thrilling life on stage.

The rest of 2025 promises even more brilliant productions, including Picture You Dead, An Inspector Calls, The Girl on the Train, Bat Out of Hell, Calamity Jane, and many more.
