The production will run at Sadler’s Wells from the 2nd December 2025 until the 18th January 2026.
It has been announced that Matthew Bourne’s production based on the film by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger will head back to London as part of a UK tour.
The production will play the seven-week Christmas season at Sadler’s Wells, London, from 2nd December 2025 to 18th January 2026, marking New Adventures’ 23rd consecutive Christmas season at the venue. Further tour dates and casting will be announced shortly.
Talking about the news, Matthew Bourne said: “This production was certainly a landmark event for New Adventures, becoming an instant classic and a beloved addition to our repertoire. I’m so happy to see it return this year, especially as our last tour in 2020 was sadly cut short by the pandemic and left many of our loyal audiences throughout the UK disappointed.
So, welcome back to the Ballet Lermontov and to paraphrase the great impresario himself… ‘It’s time to put on the red shoes, Vicky, and dance for us again….”
The Red Shoes is set to a score orchestrated by Terry Davies, featuring themusic of golden-age Hollywood composer Bernard Herrmann, with designs by Lez Brotherston (set and costumes), Paule Constable (lighting) and Paul Groothuis (sound).
