A cinematic masterpiece turned stage sensation, The Red Shoes is a timeless tale

This Academy Award-winning story explores the intense pursuit of artistic perfection, the grip of obsession, and one young woman's dream to become the world’s greatest dancer.

Victoria Page lives for dance, but her passion becomes a battleground between two men who shape her destiny. Do the red shoes belong to Victoria, or does she belong to them? 

With a dream to become the world’s greatest dancer, Victoria is ambitious and that leaves her torn between the two men who inspire her passion.

The production dazzles with opulent designs by Lez Brotherston (sets and costumes), atmospheric lighting by Paule Constable, and immersive sound by Paul Groothuis.

Based on the iconic, Academy Award-winning film by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger which was inspired by the classic Hans Christian Anderson tale.
