This electrifying pop-powered musical reimagines Shakespeare’s Macbeth through the eyes of the fiercely fabulous and fun three witches, The Weird Sisters!
Featuring an unforgettable soundtrack bursting with pop anthems, Weird is the new British musical packed with witchcraft, mischief and mayhem! This spellbinding reinvention is breaking all the rules – don’t miss your chance to experience the magic and something wicked this way comes.

They will be joined by Scarlet Bilham (Morning; A Son of Rambo) as Lady Macbeth, Elliott Evans (Back to the Future) as Banquo, Andrew Patrick-Walker (Bat Out of Hell; HAIR) as King Duncan and Macduff and Dean John Wilson (The King & I; Sister Act the Musical; Aladdin) as Macbeth.
The show is directed by West End and Broadway director, Tim Jackson (Two Strangers Carry a Cake (Across New York); The Parent Agency); with choreography by Alexzandra Sarmiento (42 Balloons; Starter for Ten).
Completing the creative team is Set Designer Andrew Exeter (The Creakers; Oscar at the Crown); Costume Designer Gabriella Slade (Starlight Express – Olivier Award winner; SIX – Tony Award winner); Lighting Designer Howard Hudson (Starlight Express; Natasha Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812 – Olivier Award nominations 2025); Sound Designer Paul Gatehouse (Mary Poppins; SIX); Orchestrator, Musical Supervisor and Co-Arranger Joe Beighton (Six the Musical; 42 Balloons).
