Strictly Ballroom The Musical Tickets

Save the date. Save the last dance. Closing dates for the West End production of Baz Luhrmann's Strictly Ballroom have just been announced. The dance extravaganza is currently playing at London’s Piccadilly Theatre.

OK I confess, I am a fan of Strictly Ballroom, the film, so I approached the musical with some trepidation. How could it possibly live up to the film? Due to a fantastic cast and use of some best-selling pop songs, Strictly Ballroom The Musical succeeds in being a great addition to the film. So, if you are a fan of the 1992 film you won't be disappointed- you'll be in raptures over this faithful adaptation, including the mannerisms and visual appearances of the main characters. It is a Rom-Com with an emphasis on comedy. The main ingredient of this very delicious musical is comedy, with romance being the icing on the cake. All the characters are there in an exaggerated form, like an adult pantomime filled with fun, fun, fun. 

Matt Cardle has just been confirmed to be starring in the West End production of Baz Luhrmann’s Strictly Ballroom The Musical, which is now playing at the Piccadilly Theatre. He is set to take over the role of band leader Wally Strand, replacing former X-Factor star Will Young.

Baz Luhrmann’s beloved and award-winning 1992 film, Strictly Ballroom has been adapted into a glorious, feel-good musical, now showing at London’s Piccadilly Theatre, directed and choreographed by Drew McOnie.  Featuring stars Jonny Labey, Zizi Strallen and Will Young, with a charming company of gorgeous performers that bring over 40 classic chart hits to life, the show sparkles with warmth and vitality that will have you singing and dancing out of your seats and onto London’s streets!

Set amongst the glitz and glamour of London’s Soho, the Piccadilly Theatre is showing Strictly Ballroom - an adaptation of the film based on a play by Baz Luhrmann, and the first in his “Red Curtain” trilogy. Upon entering the auditorium, instrumental versions of ballroom classics are being played. When the curtain rises, the audience is greeted by a sea of colourful costumes and sparkling sequins.  Ballroom choreography has been cleverly adapted to fit the stage, which gives the illusion of being transported to the cut-throat world of competitive ballroom dance, overseen by President of the Board, Barry Fife (Gerard Horan).

This highly-anticipated musical and dance extravaganza, which features choreography from Olivier Award-winning choreographer Drew McOnie (In The Heights), is set to premiere tonight, 29 March 2018, at London's Piccadilly Theatre. We're bringing you everything there is to know about Strictly Ballroom!

Baz Luhrmann’s award winning movie Strictly Ballroom has inspired Strictly Ballroom The Musical. The toe tapping story of a championship ballroom dancer who flouts convention to dance towards victory with his unlikely new partner features such classics as Love is in the Air, Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps and Time After Time.
