The lycra-clad hit 80s dance musical movie takes to the stage.

Set in Pittsburgh, USA, Flashdance tells the story of 18 year old Alex, a welder by day and ‘flashdancer’ by night, whose dream is to obtain a place at the prestigious Shipley Dance Academy.

Based on the Paramount Pictures film (Screenplay by Tom Hedley and Joe Eszterhas, story by Tom Hedley) Flashdance is a musical about holding onto your dreams and love against all the odds. The show features an iconic score including the smash hit Maniac along with Manhunt, Gloria, I Love Rock & Roll and the Academy Award-winning title track Flashdance - What a Feeling.

Full of pulsating raw energy and breathtaking choreography by Arlene Phillips (Strictly Come Dancing, Grease, Starlight Express, Saturday Night Fever) Flashdance stars Bruno Langley (Coronation Street), Bernie Nolan (Brookside), Noel Sullivan (Hear'Say) and Victoria Hamilton-Barritt.
