Benidorm - Live!

Benidorm The Reunion comes to the Sunderland Empire on Saturday 13 March 2027, a cast reunion party marking the 20th anniversary of the comedy Benidorm. It's a night built around the show's history rather than a scripted play, with songs, stories and a quiz making up the bulk of the evening. The cast get together to look back on the years they spent at the Solana Hotel, and the quiz is part of that, so it's as much about the fans as it is about the people on stage.

For context, Benidorm started as an ITV comedy set on the Spanish coast, and the stage show Benidorm - Live! is the adaptation of that, which has toured theatres across the UK. This reunion is a different thing entirely—a celebration of the original show's two decades rather than a performance of the stage script. The songs and stories come from the cast themselves, and the quiz lets you test how much you remember about the Solana and its regulars.

It's a night for anyone who spent years following the show, and the 20th anniversary gives it a particular hook. The cast reunion format means you'll hear from the people who lived with those characters, and the quiz is a good way to get the audience involved rather than just watching from the stalls. If you've got a soft spot for the Solana, it's a chance to see the cast back together in one place.

The show starts at 7:30pm at the Sunderland Empire, with tickets from £47.64.
