About Matthew Bourne’s New Adventures: The Red Shoes
The double Olivier award-winning smash hit returns to Sadler’s Wells.
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, featuring 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.

Beautiful choreography, set dressing, dancers and storytelling. I was a bit miffed by how they ended it...
Disappointing. Confused. I couldn’t understand the enthusiasm of the reviews.
Fantastic sets and costumes, and brilliant mix of ballet styles. Such an engaging performance
