Russell T Davies - who created the series which follows a group of gay men and their friends as they navigated the UK’s Aids crisis during the 1980s - has teamed up with production companies Rambert and Factory International to transform the show into a "visceral" theatrical experience.

The live show, which is choreographed and directed by Benoit Swan Pouffer, Rambert’s artistic director, will tour across the UK from 16th February 2027, premiering at Aviva Studios in Manchester.

It will then come to theatres in Luxembourg, Liverpool, Birmingham, Plymouth, Southampton, Edinburgh, Norwich, Newcastle, Cardiff, Truro, London, Glasgow and Sheffield throughout the year.

Pre-sale tickets will be available from 1st June at 10am, with general on sale beginning on 4th June.

Davies serves as executive producer on the stage show alongside Pet Shop Boys, whose 1987 single gave the drama its title.

Pouffer said: “Storytelling sits at the heart of Rambert’s mission. This is a story we feel compelled to tell right now, and collaborating with Russell - one of the most powerful storytellers of our time - is incredibly exciting.

"Together we’re exploring how dance and choreography can carry urgent, emotional narratives in a visceral way. I can’t wait to share this with audiences, and there is so much more still to come as the work evolves.”

Davies added: “Excitement is rising as this landmark production gets closer and closer. It’s such an honour for me to see It’s a Sin being brought to life by Benoit and the team with passion, joy and respect.”

Pet Shop Boys added: “The original TV drama was a landmark series which compellingly presented the reality and tragedy of the Aids crisis to a mass audience.

"Our song 'It’s a Sin' was contemporary with the crisis and we are proud to be involved as this poignant and important story is interpreted in a different medium.”

It's a Sin is available to stream on Channel 4 online and Disney+.
