Part gig, part play, REASONS TO BE CHEERFUL raised the roof in 2010 with its red-hot band and gritty coming of age tale, leaving audiences shouting for more.
In Spring 2012 more is what they will get -- the acclaimed smash hit musical returns on a 1633 mile epic tour of the UK.
Kicking off at the New Wolsey Theatre, REASONS TO BE CHEERFUL will then visit Hall for Cornwall, Hull Truck Theatre, Watford Palace Theatre, Dundee Rep, Dury's old stamping ground Hackney Empire and finally Nottingham Playhouse.

The film explores the Greek mythology of the Sisters of Graeae, and its context with todays Graeae - the UKs leading disabled-led theatre company.
