is coming to Theatre Royal Plymouth
30 January - 4 February
Baz Luhrmann’s smash hit musical Strictly Ballroom is set to sweep audiences off their feet once more with its new 2022/2023 tour, directed by the fab-u-lous Craig Revel Horwood. Former Strictly Come Dancing champion Kevin Clifton stars as Scott Hastings, whilst EastEnders star and Strictly Come Dancing fi nalist Maisie Smith makes her musical theatre debut in the lead female role of Fran. Kevin and Maisie were previous champions of the Strictly Come Dancing Children in Need Special 2019. The show – choreographed by Craig Revel Horwood and Strictly Come Dancing’s Creative Director, Jason Gilkison – is based on the award-winning, global fi lm phenomenon ‘Strictly Ballroom’, which inspired the world to dance and spawned the smash hit TV series ‘Strictly Come Dancing’. It is set to dazzle audiences all over the UK & Ireland and will be at Plymouth’s Theatre Royal from 30 January – 4 February 2023. Strictly Ballroom: The Musical tells the beguiling story of Scott Hastings, a talented, arrogant and rebellious young ballroom dancer. When Scott’s radical dance moves see him fall out of favour with the Australian Federation, he fi nds himself dancing with Fran, a beginner with no moves at all. Inspired by one another, this unlikely pair gather the courage to defy both convention and their families – and discover that, to be winners, the steps don’t need to be strictly ballroom… Strictly Ballroom brings to life iconic songs including Love is in the Air, Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps and Time After Time with dynamic and joyous verve. The show will also feature some amazing new songs by internationally acclaimed artists including Sia, David Foster and Eddie Perfect. Scintillating singing, dazzling dancing and eye-popping costumes will combine together to bring audiences a story of heart, comedy and drama; it promises to be an unforgettable night under the glitter ball. Craig Revel Horwood said: “I am absolutely delighted to be directing the amazing Kevin Clifton and the sensational Maisie Smith, together with our super talented cast in Strictly Ballroom: The Musical – I know that they’ll all be FAB-U-LOUS! Expect some sexy moves, sizzling costumes and a simply sensational evening!” Kevin Clifton said: “I’m thrilled to fi nally be fulfi lling my lifelong ambition to play Scott Hastings in Strictly Ballroom: The Musical... I’m beyond excited to be performing with Maisie again – she’s amazing – and can’t wait to don the golden jacket and waltz all over the UK with her in this incredible show!” Maisie Smith said: “Dancing in Strictly has been a huge part of my life, and been so much fun. I’m absolutely delighted to be able to continue that journey in Strictly Ballroom: The Musical. Not only do I get to make my musical theatre debut with my former partner in crime, Kevin Clifton, but I get to work with Craig Revel Horwood and Jason Gilkison again too – I can’t wait!”
