The Red Shoes

Matthew Bourne's breathtaking adaptation of the classic Powell and Pressburger film, The Red Shoes returns for an extended 2025-26 UK tour. Opening at Sadler's Wells for a seven-week Christmas season before embarking on a major national tour to Glasgow, Nottingham, Milton Keynes, Woking, Liverpool, Cardiff and beyond, this electrifying production follows Victoria Page, a young dancer torn between the two men who inspire her to dance and love. With its iconic score arranged from the music of Bernard Herrmann and a cast delivering some of Bourne's most passionate and emotionally charged choreography, The Red Shoes remains one of the defining theatrical experiences of contemporary dance.
