New Adventures has confirmed further dates for The Red Shoes which returns for a 2025/26 tour for the first time since its 2020 tour was cut short due to the pandemic.
With The Red Shoes set to open at the Theatre Royal Plymouth on the 17th November, it has been confirmed that additional dates have been added to the UK tour.
After its run in Plymouth, the show will then visit: The Lowry, Salford from 25th November until 29th November, ahead of the previously announced 7-week annual Christmas season at Sadler’s Wells from 2nd December 2025 to 18th January 2026, marking New Adventures’ 23rd consecutive Christmas season at the venue. In 2026, The Red Shoes will tour to Nottingham and Southampton, with further tour venues to be announced.

A timeless fairytale and Academy Award-winning movie, The Red Shoes has captivated audiences and inspired generations of dancers with its powerful tale 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 fierce struggle between the two men who inspire her passion.
The Red Shoes is set to a score orchestrated by Terry Davies and featuring the music of golden-age Hollywood composer Bernard Herrmann, with designs by Lez Brotherston (set and costumes), Paule Constable (lighting) and Paul Groothuis (sound).
