Divas
*Tickets are available for this event. See booking button below.
Event location: Apollo Theatre.
 A dance spectacular, 'Divas', choreographed and directed by Olivier Award and Evening Standard Award-winning Peter Schaufuss, pays homage to three of the world’s greatest icons - Edith Piaf, Marlene Dietrich and Judy Garland - in one stunning production.
Featuring original recordings from 'La Vie En Rose' to 'Falling in Love Again' and 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow', 'Divas' celebrates each stars' art and individuality. Brilliant lighting and staging relive the glitz and glamour of Hollywood in an exhilarating show for the whole family.
This production marks the second time in two years that former Artistic Director of the English National Ballet, Schaufuss, has brought a dance show based on popular performers to the Apollo following 2007's debut of Satisfaction, which was based around the music of the Rolling Stones.
Schaufuss, who began his career as an international ballet star on a par with Baryshnikov and Nureyev in the 1970s and 1980s, also choreographed the controversial Diana, The Princess, which premiered in Manchester in 2005.
Divas will be one of three shows with a connection to The Wizard Of Oz in the West End this summer, in addition to Wicked and the Royal Festival Hall's revival of the magical musical. Child star Garland became a superstar overnight as a result of her performance as Dorothy in the famous film, but with fame and stardom came problems, and her continuing high-profile life was dogged by barbiturate addiction.
