Sparks will fly this year as the West End Premiere of FLASHDANCE – The Musical explodes onto the stage at the Shaftesbury Theatre from September 2010. Leading the cast are Matt Willis (Busted, I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here) as Nick and Victoria Hamilton-Barritt (Flashdance The Musical UK tour, Grease) as Alex.

Set in Pittsburgh, USA, FLASHDANCE tells the story of 18 year old Alex, a welder by day and ‘flashdancer’ by night, whose dream is to obtain a place at the prestigious Shipley Dance Academy.

Based on the Paramount Pictures film (Screenplay by Tom Hedley and Joe Eszterhas, story by Tom Hedley) FLASHDANCE is an unmistakably unique musical about holding onto your dreams and love against all the odds.  The show features an iconic score including the smash hit "Maniac", along with “Manhunt”, "Gloria", “I Love Rock & Roll” and the Academy Award winning title track "Flashdance - What a Feeling"  as well as 10 original songs created for the musical.

Full of pulsating raw energy and breathtaking choreography by Arlene Phillips (Strictly Come Dancing, Grease, Starlight Express, Saturday Night Fever) FLASHDANCE – The Musical promises to be the theatrical event of the year – so take your passion and make it happen!

Strictly Come Dancing's golden couple Brian Fortuna and Ali Bastian star in international Ballroom Dance Sensation, BURN THE FLOOR.

IGNITES AT THE SHAFTESBURY THEATRE  FROM JULY 21st

FOR A "STRICTLY" LIMITED RUN

Years before Strictly Come Dancing and So You Think You Can Dance turned ballroom dancing into must-see TV, one sizzling show was setting stages ablaze around the globe.  BURN THE FLOOR, the electrifying Latin and Ballroom dance spectacular that has thrilled audiences in more than 30 countries, brings the fire and passion of their live performance to the Shaftesbury Theatre in London's West End from Wednesday 21st July to Saturday 4th September 2010.

The new Broadway production of BURN THE FLOOR, with special guest stars Strictly's golden couple, Brian Fortuna and Ali Bastian, best known for playing feisty PC Sally Armstrong in The Bill and Becca Dean in the C4 soap Hollyoaks, comes to London following a successful run in New York where it broke box office records.
