This year marks the 20th anniversary of Horrible Histories Live on Stage and to celebrate this theatrical milestone Birmingham Stage Company has teamed up with Lion Television to offer Horrible Histories fans a truly special production - and it's coming to Birmingham.

For the very first time, your favourite songs and characters from the BAFTA Award-winning BBC TV series will be appearing live (and dead!) on stage in a special show.

This unique show is written by the TV series’ writers Ben Ward and Claire Wetton and will be led on stage by the Horrible Histories song master Richie Webb himself, who has written all the songs from the smash-hit BBC TV series.

When William Shakespeare is asked to create the greatest show on earth, he’s already facing a tough challenge (he knows he’s good but is he that good?!) but he’s no idea how much trouble he’ll get from monstrous monarchs like Henry VIII, Queen Victoria and Boudica! Things hot up when Death appears – and now Boudica, Napoleon and Cleopatra all want to take over! Can things get any worse? Of course they can - Loo Man’s in the building too!

Featuring a live band, performing the sensational TV songs, including guest appearances from Charles II, Dick Turpin and a bunch of Vikings that we couldn’t stop barging through the stage door, this is one show you don’t want to miss! Bring your singing voices for what promises to be a truly Horrible show!

Horrible Histories The Concert shows at The Alexandra, Birmingham from Friday 20 - Saturday 21 February 2026. Tickets go on sale on Friday 11 July here.
