We’re delighted to share that our preview performances of Best Worst Dances on 14 & 15 November were a tremendous success. Both shows at our own venue in West Newcastle were completely sold out, giving over 200 people the chance to see this joyful new work in its earliest stages.
The response from audiences has been nothing short of incredible. Audience members described the previews as joyous, uplifting, fun, and inspiring, praising the performances as beautiful, engaging, heartwarming, and magical. Many called the show restorative, nostalgic, vibrant, and life-affirming, celebrating it as a captivating and wonderfully entertaining experience.
In the meantime, we’re pleased to share photographs from the evening, and for anyone who loved the music, we’ve also created a Spotify playlist to enjoy.
We are thrilled that audiences connected so deeply with the work. Your enthusiasm and encouragement mean the world to us as we continue developing Best Worst Dances.
Thank you to everyone who joined us, supported us, and filled the room with warmth and energy. We can’t wait to share more soon.
