THE DOUBLE OLIVIER AWARD-WINNING SMASH HIT RETURNS
A timeless fairytale and Academy Award-winning movie, The Red Shoes has captivated audiences and inspired generations of dancers with its powerful tale of obsession, possession and one girl’s dream to be the greatest dancer in the world. Victoria Page lives to dance, but her ambitions become a fierce struggle between the two men who inspire her passion.
Matthew Bourne’s magical, double Olivier Award-winning production of the legendary Powell and Pressburger film is set to a score orchestrated by Terry Davies. It features the mesmerizing music of golden-age Hollywood composer Bernard Herrmann, with sumptuous designs by Lez Brotherston (set and costumes), Paule Constable (lighting), and Paul Groothuis (sound).
An intoxicating drama where life imitates art with fateful consequences, The Red Shoes will dazzle your senses and break your heart.
MATTHEW BOURNE’S production of THE RED SHOES
Based on the film by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, and the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale
Music by Bernard Herrmann
