Background

The tour is a stage adaption of the British sitcom Benidorm, and is written by its writer and creator, Derren Litten.[2] In August 2017, a spokesperson for the sitcom confirmed that Litten was in the process of writing the adaption.[3] Dates were announced in November of the same year,[4] with Litten stating:

"A live stage show Benidorm [..] has been talked about for many years. My agent and I first started talking about a stage tour with a different producer who was very keen but said only an arena tour would be financially viable. I don’t know much about producing theatre shows but I knew this definitely wasn’t the case [...] it has everything you love in [the] show, outrageous comedy, brilliant music, something to make you laugh and maybe even to make you cry. I genuinely can’t wait for you to see it. [..] This is a show that needs to be experienced in the theatre. I'm a bit of a selfish idiot and my ego is insanely large with no good reason, so I blocked a dvd release so fans can never enjoy this again and then I threw a hissy fit when the BBC axes my other show so it's all gone now, all that talent and humour the cast gave my scripts"
