This week sees Dundee Rep Theatre, in association with Noisemaker, open their brand-new version of smash-hit musical Oor Wullie. 

First staged in 2019, this uproarious musical adaptation of DC Thomson’s iconic character became a sensation in Dundee and across Scotland; now a cast of both new and familiar faces are set to bring some of the country’s most beloved characters back to the Rep stage this Christmas.

Hot on the heels of last year’s production of A Christmas Carol, the award-winning creative team present a new and expanded version of the show – with even more catchy songs for audiences to leave humming. Join Wullie, Primrose, Boab, Soapy Soutar, Wee Eck, an' the rest o' Wullie’s Sunday Post gang in the musical adventure celebratin' ower 85 years o' Scotland's maist beloved comic strip.

This new version sees Kyle Gardiner step into the tackety boots of Auchenshoogle’s cheekiest son, Wullie. He will be joined by a cast of leading Scottish stage talent portraying fan-favourite characters, including Bailey Newsome as Soapy Soutar, Beth Robb Adams as Primrose, Grant McIntyre as Wee Eck, Mairi Barclay as Basher, RoMaya Jey as Nilo and Taqi Nazeer as Daniyal. Taking on the role of Boab, recent New College Lanarkshire graduate Elliot McLean will be making his debut. Also joining the cast will be Antony Strachan as PC Murdoch and Rep favourite Ann Louise Ross as Ms Watkins.

Oor Wullie will delight audiences of all ages at Dundee Rep Theatre throughout the festive season, with an opening press performance on Thursday 28 November before running to Monday 30 December.
