Wet wet wet!

We had front row seats at the Novello. What a show-a spectacular performance and the 6 dancers made it seem effortless-they were all amazing. Would definitely recommend to see as only on until Sept. Have booked again to take my 6 year old as sure she will love it too. ... Read more

Fun, exuberant - and wet!

This show is for everyone - male and female, young and old, dance fan or footie fan. It's not a musical, because there are no songs and no dialogue. It's just straight, athletic, exciting tap dancing on every surface you can think of - ladders, girders, wooden boards, walls, slopes, and even for a few exciting minutes upside down on the ceiling. It's clever without being intellectual, visually great while far from fancy, and non-stop fun. At 37, Adam Garcia is fighting fit and hoofing it like a 20-year-old (even with a fractured hand - this is dangerous stuff). But all six dancers get a chance to show off their amazing strength, skill and balance. It's quick (just under 90 minutes, with no interval) so don't blink or you'll miss something. And avoid the front three rows - I wasn't joking when I said it was wet - the dancers take delight in stamping on the water-covered stage and splashing the audience liberally. A hugely fun night out, and you can be home in time for supper. ... Read more
