Fleabag is coming to the West End on last ever run - but the Sexy Priest won't be there

Great news Fleabag fans, the critically acclaimed, and multi-award-winning Fleabag is coming back to the West End for a strictly limited four week run this summer.

Written by Phoebe Waller-Bridge and directed by Vicky Jones, the one woman show that inspired the hit BBC Three show is coming back to London after a sold-out house Off-Broadway in New York.

However, sad news for Season Two fans, the sexy priest won't be there as this is the piece that inspired the hit comey.

The homecoming run will be the last time Waller-Bridge will perform the piece, so tickets will be hot property. Tickets go on sale at 3pm today, with 25% of tickets having a smooth £25 off.

The play will begin previews on 20 August 2019 with an opening night on Wednesday 28 August 7:30pm at Wyndham’s Theatre.

You can get tickets from Delfont Mackintosh Theatres and Soho Theatre here.

Soho Theatre and Annapurna Theatre said “It’s a privilege to have contributed to the journey of Fleabag with Phoebe thus far and we couldn’t be more pleased the show is returning home to London alongside DryWrite for a West End run.”

It's original producer and star Phoebe Waller-Bridge, simply said “Looooonddddooooonn!!" - and we can't wait to have her back.

Why so many women are attracted to Fleabag’s Priest, according to psychologist

Fleabag was originally produced by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Vicky Jones and producer Francesca Moody’s company DryWrite. It previewed at Soho Theatre before its Edinburgh Festival debut in 2013, winning rave reviews and a Fringe First Award. After touring the UK again in 2015 and 2018, it also toured South Korea, Australia before it's legendary New York Off Broadway stint.

Many of us however know it for it's BBC Three adaptation, earning Waller-Bridge a BAFTA for Best Female Comedy Performance.

It's a 'rip-roaring look at some sort of woman living her sort of life. Fleabag may appear emotionally unfiltered and oversexed, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. With family and friendships under strain and a guinea pig café struggling to keep afloat, Fleabag suddenly finds herself with nothing to lose'.

We can't wait to see it.
