A sequin-studded warm-hearted ballroom drama
Three young couples are striving for glory on the competitive dance circuit - having finally made it to Blackpool's National Amateur Championships, via the motorway hard shoulder. But there's pain and heartbreak beneath the dazzling glitter ball when you're dancing to other people's tunes and hiding secrets. And with the world at your feet, it only takes one false step...
This bittersweet comedy reveals the backstage stories behind the fabulous frocks, fixed smiles and fake tan, looking at the real lives of those for whom dancing is everything.
Please note that we have an exciting new seating plan for Kiss Me Quickstep with an additional bank of seats behind the stage. This show will be performed in the round, with actors performing to all sides.
==========================
Well as if going to the theatre Tuesday and Thursday this week wasn't enough I also had my ticket for a Wednesday matinee at The New Wolsey Theatre. There always used to be four of us going together, sadly one of our group has died. This time another had double booked and was away on holiday. The other was expected but didn't show (I found out later she had just forgotten) so I went in alone.
As mentioned above the seating had been arranged around the floor level stage and the extra ones were temporary folding seats and not particularly comfortable for sitting on for two hours.
The show itself was really very good. Not a subject I've seen on this stage before so made a nice change. The actors were all very suited to their characters and all were really good dancers too. In fact a woman behind me said "I wish they'd just get on with the dancing and not bother with all this arguing in between" hahaha.
