A major new K-pop theatre spectacular developed in south Essex is preparing to launch its national tour.
K-Pop All Stars, produced by Entertainers, has already sold more than 150,000 tickets ahead of its 154-date UK and Ireland tour, which will include stops at The London Palladium, indigo at The O2 and The Cliffs Pavilion.
The entire production has been created in south Essex, with rehearsals held at Entertainers’ studios, on Canvey, before the cast and crew moved to Towngate Theatre, in Basildon, for dress and technical rehearsals.
Towngate Theatre has become a key base for the company, which is set to bring 32 shows to the venue in 2025, performing to around 15,000 people in the area.
Entertainers, run by father and son Michael and James Taylor, produces more than 40 touring shows including "The Magic of Motown" and "Cirque – The Greatest Show".

A spokesperson for Entertainers said: "It’s fantastic to see a major theatre tour created right here in Essex.
"Our studios on Canvey allow us to develop productions from the ground up, with artists living and rehearsing here before we take the show on tour across the UK and internationally."
