strictly ballroom the musical

23 november – 1 february

Our last tango at The Shed

Baz Luhrmann’s Strictly Ballroom The Musical is set to cha-cha into Christchurch for the very first time at The Court Theatre in November and will be the last tango at The Shed before the theatre company moves into its brand-new, purpose-built home in the city. 

This splendidly camp comedy-musical will have you foxtrotting through summer in a haze of sequins, satin and hairspray! Every song is a banger, including John Paul Young’s Love is in the Air, Cyndi Lauper’s Time After Time, Doris Day’s Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps, new music by David Foster, Sia Furler, and Eddie Perfect, and many, many more.

Inspired by his childhood, Luhrmann’s Strictly Ballroom follows Scott Hastings, an arrogant and rebellious young ballroom dancer. When Scott’s radical dance moves see him fall out of favour with the Australian Federation, he finds himself dancing with Fran, a beginner with no moves at all. Spurred on by one another, this unlikely pair gathers the courage to defy both convention and their families – and discover that, to be winners, the steps don’t need to be strictly ballroom…
