The musical comedy Friends! The Musical Parody opens today, February 24, 2026, at the Princess Theatre in Torquay, Devon. This touring production is a light-hearted spoof of the popular 1990s television sitcom and will run through February 28, 2026.
The show condenses all ten seasons of the original series into a single evening of songs and comedy sketches. It features an original score that pokes fun at well-known storylines, such as the relationship between Ross and Rachel and Joey’s acting career. The cast features Enzo Benvenuti, Alicia Belgarde, Eva Hope, Ronnie Burden, Daniel Parkinson, and Amelia Atherton.
Residents can attend evening performances at 19:30 from Tuesday to Thursday and on Saturday. The Princess Theatre will also host two shows on Friday at 17:30 and 20:30, as well as a Saturday matinee at 14:30. The venue, which is the largest in South Devon, recently updated its seating area in early 2024 to accommodate 1,514 people.
Produced by Mark Goucher, Matthew Gale, and Oskar Eiriksson, the show has traveled across the UK and Ireland since 2025. It offers a nostalgic night of entertainment for fans of the original show and those looking for a local night out on the English Riviera.
