Back by popular demand: Northern Ballet’s Puss in Bootsreturns to Leeds in time for Easter
Puss in Boots
A ballet for children
Tuesday 02 – Friday 05 April
Stanley & Audrey Burton Theatre, Leeds
In just two weeks Puss in Boots, the newest children’s production created by Northern Ballet, is set toreturn to Leeds before striding out on a major national tour from April to June. Following a hugely successful sold out world première in October 2018, Puss in Boots will be performed at the Stanley & Audrey Burton Theatre from 02 to 05 April, in perfect time for the Easter holidays.
Inspired by the much-loved fairytale, Puss in Boots tells the story of a remarkable cat who, despite being both clever and charming, always seems to bring his master bad luck. This child friendly 40 minute ballet follows their adventure as they meet a flurry of characters and even come face to face with royalty! It has been created especially for children and their families to experience live dance, music and theatre together.
Puss in Boots follows in the footsteps of the Company’s five previous children’s ballets, all of which have achieved huge popularity both live on stage and in CBeebies TV adaptations. Choreographed by Jenna Lee, founder and Creative Director of JLee Productions and former English National Ballet Soloist, Puss in Boots will feature set designs by Ali Allen, lighting by Alastair West, costume designs by Jenna Lee in collaboration with Kim Brassley and Carley Marsh, and music composed by RichardNorriss, played live by members of Northern Ballet Sinfonia at every venue.
Daniel de Andrade, Northern Ballet’s Artistic Director of Children’s Ballets, said: ‘We are delighted thatPuss in Boots is returning to Leeds before setting off on tour around the country. The production previously sold out at its world première in October, so we are thrilled that its return this Easter means even more local families can experience the magic of live ballet and theatre together.’
