Tennis star Andy Murray swapping centre court for centre stage with live tour
The former world No. 1 tennis will be coming to Glasgow and Edinburgh to “recount intimate and untold moments” on stage
Scottish tennis legend Andy Murray has announced his first-ever theatre tour next summer, with four dates scheduled for Glasgow, Edinburgh, and London.
The former world No. 1 tennis will be swapping centre court for the opportunity to “recount intimate and untold moments” on centre stage.
The show is set to open in Glasgow on Wednesday, 18 June 2025 at the SEC Armadillo and will be coming to the Edinburgh Playhouse on Thursday, 19 June 2025.
After deciding to retire following his final professional tournament at the 2024 Paris Olympics, the tour aims to give audience “the chance to connect with a true sporting legend – game, set, chat”.
Sir Andy will be joined on stage by Scottish sports broadcaster Andrew Cotter and engage in conversation about “his story of perseverance, growth and finding a path beyond the court”.
The website reads: “Marking a new chapter, Andy is stepping onto a new kind of stage for a different type of tour – one where he lifts the lid on his biggest moments, reflects on a unique career and provides behind-the-scenes access to the world of tennis. This is a rare opportunity to hear first-hand from one of the world’s most beloved and entertaining athletes.”
Andy Murray was born in Dunblane, Scotland, and was a student at Dunblane Primary School when the 1996 school massacre took place.
His extraordinary sporting career includes three Grand Slam singles titles – two at Wimbledon, one at the US Open – and two Olympic gold medals.
