'Strictly Ballroom The Musical' is coming to Bristol next year.
The show, directed by Craig Revel Horwood, will be at Bristol Hippodrome from November 2 until November 7.
The musical will be based on the award-winning, global film phenomenon, 'Strictly Ballroom' which has inspired people to take up dance.
Strictly Ballroom The Musical tells the story of Scott Hastings, a talented, arrogant and rebellious young ballroom dancer.
When Scott’s radical dance moves see him fall out of favour with the Australian Federation, he finds himself dancing with Fran, a beginner with no moves at all.
Inspired by one another, this unlikely pair gather the courage to defy both convention and their families – and discover that, to be winners, the steps don’t need to be strictly ballroom.
The tour will bring together over 20 world class performers and the Strictly Ballroom will bring to life iconic songs including Love is in the Air, Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps and Time After Time.
The Bristol dates form part of a nine month 2020/2021 UK & Ireland Tour, visiting 30 cities including Bristol.
The show will also feature new songs by internationally acclaimed artists including Sia, David Foster and Eddie Perfect.
Craig Revel Horwood said: "I am absolutely delighted to be directing the 2020/21 UK tour of Strictly Ballroom The Musical - it's going to be fab-u-lous! The theatre is where I come alive and it is there that I feel in my most creative element.
"Having directed the UK Arena Tour of Strictly Come Dancing for the past few years, I simply cannot wait to put my stamp on this iconic and much-loved musical.
"Expect some sexy moves, sizzling costumes and a simply sensational evening!"
