Strictly Ballroom is coming to The Hexagon in January

ONE of the first shows of 2023 at The Hexagon will be a musical based on a hugely popular film.

Strictly Ballroom, riffing off Baz Luhrmann’s award-winning worldwide film of the same name, features Strictly Come Dancing favourite Kevin Clifton and BBC’s EastEnders actor Maisie Smith.

The Strictly connection continues as the show will be directed and co-choreographed by Craig Revel Horwood.

The show follows arrogant, rebellious young ballroom dancer Scott Hastings (Kevin Clifton).

When his radical and daring dance style sees him fall out of favour with the Australian Federation, he must dance with a beginner Fran (Maisie Smith).

Together they find the courage to defy tradition and discover that to win, your steps don’t need to be strictly ballroom.
