Last chance to see Amanda Holden, Tracy-Ann Oberman, Natalie Casey, Nicola Stephensonand Josefina Gabrielle in heart-warming comedy Stepping Out which ends its limited run at the Vaudelville Theatre on Saturday 17 June.
Directed by Maria Friedman, this brand new staging of Richard Harris‘s award-winning play also features Judith Barker, Jessica-Alice McCluskey, Sandra Marvin and Dominic Rowan withJanet Behan, Suzy Bloom, Emma Hook, Marcia Mantack, Katie Verner and Nick Warnford.
Stepping Out charts the lives of seven women and one man attempting to tap their troubles away at a weekly dancing class. Initially all thumbs and left feet, the group is just getting to grips with the basics when they are asked to take part in a charity gala. Over the course of several months we meet the group, and all of them have a story to tell. There’s perfectionist Vera, mouthy Maxine and uptight Andy, bubbly Sylvia and shy Dorothy, eager Lynne and cheerful Rose, and, of course, Geoffrey. At the piano is the dour Mrs Fraser and spurring them all on, the ever-patient Mavis.
This uplifting comedy originally premiered in the West End in 1984 starring Barbara Ferris and Marcia Warren, winning the prestigious Evening Standard Award for Best Comedy and enjoying extended runs both in the West End and on Broadway. Stepping Out has also been made into a musical, which became a film in 1991, starring Julie Walters, Liza Minnelli and Shelley Winters.
Presented by Theatre Royal Bath Productions and the James Grant Group, Stepping Out is directed by Maria Friedman, designed by Robert Jones and choreographed by Tim Jacksonwith lighting design by Peter Mumford, sound design by Gregory Clarke and orchestrations byChristopher Walker.
