The tour will be hosted by This Morning’s resident soap expert Sharon Marshall, and will see the star spill behind-the-scenes secrets, share stories and relive heart-warming moments.
The first half of each show will take the form of an interview session, while the second half will see a surprise, very special guest take to the stage.
Other stars set to take part across the run include Andrew Whyment (Kirk Sutherland), Jack P Shepherd (David Platt), Samia Longchambon (Maria Connor) and Simon Gregson (Steve McDonald).
Tickets are priced from £29.50 plus a booking fee, and you can book them from cuffeandtaylor.com.
Cleaver announced her departure from Coronation Street after 25 years in January, telling The Sun on Sunday: "I've had 25 privileged years of working on Coronation Street.
"The door is still firmly open but as I reached my 60th year, I decided it was time to embrace change, look for new adventures and live fearlessly."
