West End Theatre Breaks
Based on the hit film. It tells the story of one boy's dream to become a ballet dancer from a working class community, set against the backdrop of the miners dispute in the 70's. It is a very funny, heartwarming tale with fantastic music from Elton John and some brilliant dance sequences. Strictly ages 8 years +.
This is the stage version of the film which was released in 2000 and nominated for 3 Oscars, 3 Golden Globes and 13 Bafta awards. With a score by Elton John, lyrics by Lee Hall and choreography by Peter Darling, it tells the story of the son of a striking Durham coal miner with an incongruous passion for ballet. While the show’s themes are family-friendly, there is strong language and a certain amount of stage violence.
"Funny, touching and shamelessly enjoyable" The Independent
"Exhilarating" The Guardian
