The production, choreographed by Craig Revel Horwood and Strictly Come Dancing's Creative Director, Jason Gilkison, plays for one week only in Peterborough as part of a 40 venue tour so don’t miss it!
Foxtrotting around the UK and Ireland, the show is based on the award-winning, global film phenomenon, Strictly Ballroom, that inspired the world to dance and spawned the smash hit TV series Strictly Come Dancing.

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…
