‘Shoes’: The Musical

No stage so far has been  dedicated solely to the celebration of clothes, garments and accessories but it make sense that when this actually did happen shoes were the first to receive this form of celebration.

And, indeed Sadler’s Wells recent show named Shoes pays tribute to the 21st century’s style makers or style breakers. “Inspired by one of the great passions of the modern age, Shoes explores the gamut of footwear, from the highs of the Louboutin to the lows of the Croc. Composed by Richard Thomas, in his first large-scale production since the legendary West End and Broadway hit Jerry Springer – The Opera, Shoes features 32 toe-tappingly catchy, footwear-inspired song and dance numbers – and sees life told from street-level perspective with wit, irreverence and affection.”

“Performing in over 250 pairs of shoes, the cast of 12 dancers includes So You Think You Can Dance’s Chloe Campbell, Mandy Montanez and Drew McOnie, plus Zoonation’s Teneisha Bonner, and Aaron Sillis, winner of the South Bank Show Breakthrough award for his role in Matthew Bourne’s Dorian Gray.”

‘Shoes‘ is playing at Sadler’s Wells from the 3rd to the 11th of September. If you are thinking of attending we suggest you wear a pair of two-tone Ducale Nero/Frond, afterall two-tones are such an integrated style feature of dance and music movements!
