THE eagerly anticipated theatre show, Strictly Ballroom The Musical, has had to be rescheduled due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Craig Revel Horwood, who directed the show and is also a judge on Strictly Come Dancing, said: ‘I’m thrilled that our new production of Strictly Ballroom The Musical has been rescheduled for 2021 and 2022.
‘The tour may be a year later, but you can still expect those same sexy dance moves, scintillating costumes and a simply fabulous show for all to enjoy.’

The musical tells the story of Scott Hastings, a talented and rebellious young ballroom dancer whose radical dance moves see him fall out of favour with the Australian Dance Federation. Anyone who bought tickets for the original performance will see them transferred to next year’s date.
