A total sell-out in 2016, Matthew Bourne’s triumphant adaptation of the legendary film returns. ‘The Red Shoes’ is a tale of obsession, possession and one girl’s dream to be the greatest dancer in the world.
Set to the achingly romantic music of golden-age Hollywood by composerBernard Herrmann and orchestrated by Terry Davies, with cinematic designs by Lez Brotherston, lighting by Paule Constable and sound by Paul Groothuis.
Early booking is highly recommended for the show’s much anticipated return.

Divorced. Beheaded. LIVE! Nominated for five Olivier Awards including Best New Musical, sell-out international smash hit ‘SIX’ is the phenomenon everyone is losing their head over! From Tudor queens to pop princesses, the six wives of Henry VIII finally take to the mic to tell their tales, remixing five hundred years of historical heartbreak into a celebration of 21st century girl power. These Queens may have green sleeves but their lipstick is rebellious red. It’s time they told their story. Think you know the rhyme, think again…

We all know an Ubu. Impossibly greedy, unstoppably crude, inexorably daft and hell-bent on making the country great again! Sound familiar?
Based on Alfred Jarry’s riot-inducing masterpiece, ‘UBU!’ is Kneehigh’s inimitable take on theatre’s most anarchic creation. Expect world-class buffoonery in this deliriously unhinged promenade musical. Featuring some of the most iconic anthems of our times, played by a belting band, we guarantee this will be a rocking riot of ridiculousness that you won’t forget.
