About the Show.
She’s not in Santa Monica anymore!
Everyone’s favourite 90s lifeguard finds herself in the rain-soaked struggling British seaside town of Spray. Her only hope of getting back home is to whip the local lifeguards into shape and save the beach, but things in Spray aren’t quite what they seem and a shadowy figure lurks beneath the surface.
Spraywatch is the brand-new, unauthorised, life-saving musical comedy, described as Barbie meets The Book of Mormon. Contains swearing and crabs.
WE’RE HEADING TO THE FRINGE 2026!
Partnering with theSpaceUK, we are thrilled to bring Spraywatch to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe this summer.
