About this event
The Cavern Club Story arrives at the New Wolsey Theatre in Ipswich on Wednesday 2nd September 2026 at 7pm, bringing the legend of Liverpool's world-famous Cavern Club vividly to life on stage.
Fully endorsed by the Cavern Club itself, this is the official theatre show celebrating over 70 years of the venue that changed music history. From its early days as a jazz and skiffle cellar to the explosive rise of rock 'n' roll and the British Invasion, the production traces the defining moments and artists that made the Cavern the most iconic music venue on the planet. Expect outstanding live musicians with West End experience, original archive footage, and cutting-edge visuals, all combining to honour acts such as The Beatles, Cilla Black, The Rolling Stones, Status Quo, Queen, Oasis, and Adele.
