About the show
Starring Anton Du Beke (Strictly Come Dancing) as Great Uncle Matthew, the National Theatre's five-star production of Ballet Shoes embarks on a major UK & Ireland tour in 2027, including a limited run at London's Sadler's Wells Theatre.
In a crumbling house full of dinosaur bones and fossils, three adopted sisters – Pauline, Petrova and Posy – are learning who they are and discovering what they want to be. Under the watchful eyes and guidance of their new guardians and some unlikely lodgers, they fight to pursue their individual passions; but in a world that wasn't built for women with big ambitions, can they forge a future, keep their family together, and even learn a dance or two along the way?
