Available on £58 seats on selected performances) A beloved fairy tale and Academy Award-winning movie, The Red Shoes has seduced audiences and inspired generations of dancers with its story 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 battleground between the two men who inspire her passion. This world premiere production by Sadler’s Wells’ Associate Artist Matthew Bourne is set to a score arranged by Terry Davies using the mesmerising music of golden-age Hollywood composer Bernard Herrmann, played live by the New Adventures Orchestra.

Based on Hans Christian Andersen's classic story, this tale of a young street girl's hopes and dreams is beautifully told through dance, song and original live music. A snowy stage sets the scene for an icy cold Christmas Eve, where the little match girl paces the emptying streets, trying to sell her matches. Cold, hungry and with just one final match flame to keep her warm, she sees a vision of her beloved grandmother. Leaving her troubled life behind, she is guided up into the night sky by her grandmother, who takes her to the moon. Award-winning choreographer Arthur Pita returns to Sadler’s Wells following recent successes Mischief and The Metamorphosis at ROH2, winner of Olivier, Southbank Sky Arts and Critics Circle National Dance Awards.
