Flashdance

Flashdance The Musical is touring the UK, with dates planned through 2018. The show will make stops at the Blackpool Opera House, Aylesbury Waterside Theatre, Chesterfield Winding Wheel, York’s Opera House, Cardiff’S New Theatre, Spa Bridlington and more.

The show tells the tale of 18-year-old Alex, who leads a double life. She’s a welder by day and a flashdanceer by night. Alex dreams of becoming a professional dancer and attending the Shipley Dance Academy. When she falls in love, things get complicated, but she never gives up on her dreams.

It’s a tale about holding onto your dreams and love – against all odds.

The show includes the iconic hits “Manhunt,” Maniac,” “I Love Rock & Roll,” “Gloria” and “What a Feeling.” The unforgettable music is accompanied by phenomenal choreography.
