THE world premier tour of Matthew Bourne’s production of The Red Shoes arrives at The Bristol Hippodrome from April 4-8.

A much-loved fairytale and Academy Award-winning movie, The Red Shoes has inspired generations of dancers with its 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 battleground between the two men who inspire her passion.

Matthew Bourne’s magical new adaptation of the legendary Powell and Pressburger film stars Ashley Shaw as Victoria Page. Ashley was most recently seen as “Aurora” in his Sleeping Beauty.

Rising star Cordelia Braithwaite also plays the role, along with Sleeping Beauty favourite Katrina Lyndon (at certain performances).

Sam Archer, who created the title role of Edward Scissorhands in 2005 has returned to the company to play the iconic role Boris Lermontov.
