Belgrade Theatre Coventry has revealed further details of shows coming up in 2026.

Featuring an irresistible score by country music legend Dolly Parton, 9 – 5 The Musical (1-5 September) follows three office workers who’ve had enough of their overbearing, chauvinistic boss. When a wild idea turns into a daring plan for revenge - chaos, comedy, and sisterhood take centre stage.

In 2012, Wilko Johnson, the iconic rock star and founder of legendary Essex band Dr Feelgood, was told he had inoperable cancer and a year to live. Refusing all treatment, he decided to spend his last months living meaningfully: seeing the people, places and things which meant most to him during his remarkable life. Then, a miracle happened… Jonathan Maitland’s Wilko: Love Death and Rock and Roll comes to Coventry, direct from the Leicester Square Theatre in London’s West End, between 7-9 September.

Following smash hit runs in London and New York, Heathers The Musical (15-19 September) brings the darkly comic high-school classic to electrifying life. What starts as teen rebellion spirals into a wickedly funny, thrilling and unapologetically bold musical about popularity, power and the consequences of standing out.

After captivating audiences worldwide, Private Peaceful comes to the Belgrade between 13-17 October with fresh energy and timeless power. From Michael Morpurgo, beloved author of War Horse, comes the unforgettable story of Tommo Peaceful. On the eve of battle, Tommo looks back over the events that shaped his life: the warmth of family, the innocence of first love, and the deep bond with his brother that carries him through the horrors of war.

Packed with iconic songs, larger-than-life characters and a carnivorous plant with a mind of its own, this brand-new production promises big laughs, big tunes and exquisite stagecraft. Whether you know every lyric or are discovering the show for the first time, is Exeter Northcott Theatre’s, in association with Lighthouse Poole and Belgrade Theatre Coventry, Little Shop of Horrors – funny, thrilling and just a little bit perilous!
