Due to circumstances beyond our control, the producers have cancelled this run of Friendsical. If you have booked tickets for one of these perfromances, our Box Office will be in touch shortly. Thank you for your patience.


Friendsical is an original and unique new parody musical inspired by the gang in Friends, the iconic TV show.

When Ross’s wife leaves him for another woman, he fears he will never find love again. But then Rachel runs back into his life… will he end up with his one true love?

With original new songs such as (He’s Her) Lobster!, Richard’s Moustache and You’re Over Me, When Were You Under Me?, the gang take on naked Thursdays, a power cut and a dinosaur convention! What could possibly go wrong?

Playing everyone’s favourite friends are Sario Solomon as Joey, Sarah Michelle-Kelly as Monica, Nelson Bettencourt as Ross, Tim Edwards as Chandler, Ally Retberg as Phoebe, Amelia Kinu Muus as Rachel, Olivia Williamson as Hot Girl/Ensemble and Tanveer Singh Devgun as Gunther/Male Ensemble.

The gang will be joined in Exeter by special celebrity guest Vanity Milan (Ru Paul’s Drag Race).

Friendsical is written and directed by Miranda Larson.
