Stepping up for hilarious revival
BRIAN Capron and Jessie Wallace star in the UK tour of Stepping Out, at the Devonshire Park Theatre from November 9-14.
Written by award-winning playwright Richard Harris, this major new revival of the hilariously funny and heart warming story coincides with the show's 25th anniversary.
Stepping Out continues to delight audiences with its feel good story, proving that in dancing, as in life, it's always better to follow your own tune.
In a dusty church hall, ex-professional dancer Mavis Turner holds her weekly tap class. Every Thursday, in stumble her well-intentioned but not overly talented troupe – the awkward but hugely enthusiastic Lynne, snooty Vera, streetwise Maxine and the rest of the group – all brought together to dance as if no one is watching, and hopefully no-one ever will.
That's until they're invited to perform at a charity gala. As disbelief is replaced by terror, can this bunch of amateurs work together to put on the performance of a lifetime?
Brian Capron, known for his award-winning portrayal of the sinister Richard Hillman in Coronation Street, plays the bumbling but lovable Geoffrey.
Jessie Wallace, who played the vivacious Kat Slater in EastEnders, stars as the bitingly funny Sylvia, a woman who is trying to balance herself on two left feet whilst propping up her real-life partner.
Rosemary Ashe, Olivier Award-nominated West End star of Phantom of the Opera and Mary Poppins, reprises her critically acclaimed role as the group's waspish Mrs Fraser.
Evening performances are at 7.45pm with Wednesday and Saturday matinees at 2.30pm.
Tickets cost from 13.50-21, call 412000.
