Adam Cooper's Shall We Dance is a tribute to the music of Richard Rodgers.
Sadler’s Wells, Raymond Gubbay and Askonas Holt present international dance sensation Cooper's first new production at Sadler’s Wells since his spectacular Les Liaisons Dangereuses in 2005.
Set to a score comprised entirely of melodies by Richard Rodgers, Adam Cooper's Shall We Dance tells the story of one man's extraordinary quest to find true love. His panoramic voyage transports audiences from the Orient to the Wild West by way of Russian folk dance, New York jazz and the delirious waltzes of a Viennese ballroom. Conceived and performed by award-winning dancer and choreographer Cooper, this brand new production thrills and seduces with an exhilarating blend of tap, jazz and classical dance.
Adam Cooper's Shall We Dance sees Rodgers's show-stopping score brought thrillingly to life by a full live orchestra.
Please note, under 5s are not admitted to Adam Cooper's Shall We Dance.
