Oor Wullie Musical coming to King's Theatre in Edinburgh in January

The acclaimed Oor Wullie musical is coming to the King's Theatre in Edinburgh for a run lasting just under a week starting later this month.

The Dundee Rep's tale of the beloved comic book character has gone down well with critics since it began touring around the UK in 2019.

It's packed with the antics you'd expect from the lovable rogue in Auchenshoogle, but the play deals with serious issues like racism too.

Martin Quinn stars as Wullie, who's on a quest to find his bucket. The first performance is on Tuesday, January 28.

The King's Theatre say: "Scotland’s cheekiest, spiky-haired scamp is back! Only question is -  where’s his bucket?!

"Join Wullie, Fat Boab, Soapy Soutar, Wee Eck, and the rest of the Sunday Post gang, in a brand new musical adventure celebrating their 80th anniversary as Scotland’s most beloved comic strip.

"Continuing their collaboration with Dundee Rep, and in partnership with internationally acclaimed Selladoor Worldwide , award-winning writing partnership Noisemaker are delighted to bring this iconic character to the stage and prove that even at 80 years old he’s still Oor Wullie! Your Wullie! A’body’s Wullie!"

Tickets are from £18.50 and can be booked here.
