It tells their story through an incredible back catalogue of chart-toppers, including You Really Got Me, Lola, and All Day and All of the Night.

Sonia Friedman, the producer, said: “From the moment Ray Davies, Joe Penhall, Ed Hall, and I began developing this musical, I knew it was something extremely special, and it proved to be so as we opened to rave reviews and won many awards.

“Ray Davies’ music and lyrics capture the poetry and poignancy of everyday life with honesty and wit, and The Kinks’ music, attitude and vibe shaped a generation.

“Their astonishing legacy continues to resonate, making Sunny Afternoon as exhilarating and relevant today as ever.

“Whether you’re discovering it for the first time or experiencing it all over again, I can’t wait for audiences across the UK to see it — I’ve truly missed it.”

Tickets go on sale on Friday, March 28.
