Smash-hit Liverpool musical Under the Mersey Moon heads to Floral Pavilion

A sell-out Liverpool-born country musical is making a much-anticipated return to the Floral Pavilion next month, moving from the Blue Lounge to the theatre’s main stage following huge demand.

Under the Mersey Moon is created by well-known Liverpool songwriters Jimmy Rae and Pete Davies and features 13 original songs which are performed by a live, six-strong band and cast of 12.

Radio legend Billy Butler and actress Lesley Butler are returning to reprise their roles as Grandad Harry and Carol, with a strong Liverpool and Wirral-based cast now confirmed to join them on stage.

It is directed by Birkenhead’s Brian McCann. The musical tells the uplifting story of one man’s determination to follow his dream, and the enduring power of love, home and family.

Under the Mersey Moon will be performed in the Floral Pavilion’s 800-seat auditorium on Saturday and Sunday 14–15 February, including a Saturday matinee, just two weeks after tickets went back on sale.

The uplifting new musical premiered at the New Brighton venue in 2025, where it played to packed houses and received standing ovations, quickly earning a reputation as one of Merseyside’s standout new theatre productions.
