Our five-star production of Ballet Shoes embarks on a major UK tour in 2027, featuring Anton Du Beke (Strictly Come Dancing). Adapted for the stage by Kendall Feaver and directed by Katy Rudd (The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry; Nanny McPhee), this truly ‘spectacular’ (Guardian) reimagining of Noel Streatfeild’s beloved novel breathes fresh life into the classic story, while staying true to its heart. In a crumbling house full of dinosaur bones and fossils, three adopted sisters – Pauline, Petrova and Posy – are learning who they are and discovering what they want to be. Under the watchful eyes of their new guardians and some unlikely lodgers, they fight to pursue their individual passions; but in a world that wasn’t built for women with big ambitions, can they forge a future, keep their family together, and even learn a dance or two along the way? UK Tour begins August 2027, with a limited run at London’s Sadler’s Wells Theatre.
Three adopted sisters, Pauline, Petrova and Posy, grow up in a house full of dinosaur bones and unexpected adventures, each dreaming of a different future. As they pursue their ambitions and fight to keep their family together, they discover the strength of sisterhood, friendship and determination.
Pauline, Petrova and Posy Fossil are three adopted sisters growing up in an unusual London home filled with dinosaur bones, fossils and a colourful collection of lodgers. Raised by their guardian Sylvia and Nana, the girls are encouraged to discover what they want from life.
As they grow older, each sister develops her own ambition. Pauline dreams of becoming an actress, Petrova longs for a life connected with machines and aviation, while Posy discovers that she has a remarkable gift for ballet. With money running short and their family facing an uncertain future, the sisters decide to use their talents to help support the household.
Their journey brings auditions, performances, friendships, disappointments and unexpected opportunities. Together, they learn that following your dreams can be difficult, but that determination, family and mutual support can help them overcome the obstacles in their way.
