Ballet Shoes Tickets

Noel Streatfeild’s beloved 1936 novel, Ballet Shoes, has been reimagined for the stage in a brand new adaptation by Kendall Feaver (The Almighty Sometimes). Book Ballet Shoes tickets on London Theatre.

Ballet Shoes is a play that tells the story of three adopted sisters, Pauline, Petrova, and Posy. They are taken in by a professor and palaeontologist, who leaves the girls with two charges. The sisters seek to find their place in the world and chase their dreams despite the world being a difficult place for ambitious women.

As the 4-star London Theatre review said of the show, “This new adaptation by Kendall Feaver hits the sweet spot, thankfully retaining the 1930s setting and celebrating what a visionary Streatfeild was with her focus on young women shaping their own destinies, the importance of technique and hard graft, and the gift of found families.”

Ballet Shoes in London has an excellent cast starring Grace Saif (13 Reasons Why), Yanexi Enriquez (Though This Be Madness), Daisy Sequerra (Matilda), and Pearl Mackie (Doctor Who).

The show’s talented creative team includes director Katy Rudd (The Ocean at the End of the Lane), set designer Frankie Bradshaw (Mad House), costume designer Samuel Wyer (The Ocean at the End of the Lane), choreographer Ellen Kane (Matilda the Musical), composer Asaf Zohar (Disruption), Tony and Olivier Award-winning lighting designer Paule Constable (The Ocean at the End of the Lane), Tony and Olivier Award-winning sound designer Ian Dickinson (Company), and projections by Ash J Woodward (The Witches).

As the 4-star The Guardian review said, “Samuel Wyer’s costumes dazzle and Frankie Bradshaw’s set is no less than luminous with GUM’s ancient exhibits in glass cases spiralling upwards, across the house’s storeys, while Ash J Woodward’s video projections and Paule Constable’s lighting create the almost magical effect of movement: dinosaurs lurch and sea waves swish across the stage.”
