The 2025 follows on from the duo’s successful Firedance tour.
It has been announced that Strictly Come Dancing professionals Karen Hauer and Gorka Marquez will bring their new show Speakeasy to theatres in 2025.
Filled with live music and stunning choreography, Speakeasy will unlock the door to an undercover world of elegance and iconic dance flavours. Taking audiences from the clandestine New York Speakeasy to the sultry Havana dance floors and from the Burlesque Cabaret Clubs of the mid 1900’s to the glittering mirror balls of Studio 54 there is plenty for audiences to enjoy.
The show will feature a combination of dance styles including: Mamba, Salsa, Charleston, Foxtrot and Samba – all performed by a cast of world-class dancers, vocalists and musicians.
It is set to be Karen and Gorka’s biggest tour to date and will also see them making their West End debut as a duo (date and venue coming soon).
Talking about the news: Gorka said “I’m so excited to be going back on the road with Karen and seeing everybody across the UK. We’re going to immerse the audience in an undercover world of dance and I can’t wait!”
Meanwhile, Karen added: “Partnering again on a new tour with my good friend Gorka is so exciting and we can’t wait for audiences up and down the UK to see what we’ve put together for them. We’re bringing a new look and feel to this show; all new music, dances and a theme where we’ll be bringing you behind a secret door for an evening of total entertainment and escapism. We are also absolutely thrilled that for the first time we will be taking our tour to the West End. It’s shaping up to be the most incredible adventure and we can’t wait for people to join us on the journey.”
