Last updated 11th May 2021
The Creative Director of Hall for Cornwall has teases a ‘major new stage play’ and West End musicals ahead of its grand reopening.
Fisherman's Friends: The Musical will be the first major show since the theatre underwent a multi-million pound transformation after closing in 2018.
The venue now boasts three hundred new seats in the redesigned three-tiered Cornwall Playhouse auditorium which now has the capacity of 1,352, meaning it can attract bigger shows.
Tickets are now on sale with priority ticket sales for members having already broken box office sales.
The show is running from Wednesday 13 October to Saturday 30 October.
Julien Boast, CEO and Creative Director at Hall for Cornwall said:
“We’ve had a fantastic response so far and it shows the affection people have for the Fisherman’s Friends story and how much people have missed live theatre.
“Later this month we will be unveiling further highlights of our launch autumn season with an exciting programme of shows, including live music, comedy, contemporary dance and a major new stage play and West End musicals. We can’t wait to raise the curtain on our fantastic new auditorium, Cornwall Playhouse.”
Fisherman’s Friends: The Musical charts the rise of Port Isaac’s famous sea shanty group and their major record deal signed in 2010.

The musical has been adapted from the 2019 hit film Fisherman’s Friends and will feature many of the much-loved sea shanties made famous by the group, including Keep Haulin’, Nelson's Blood, No Hopers Jokers & Rogues, Sweet Maid Of Madeira and many more.
