Tap Dogs
Friday, April 30th, 2010For the first time in 13 years the hit dance show Tap Dogs returns to the West End. The show opens this June at the Novello Theatre and theatre tickets will be on sale through to September.
West End heartthrob Adam Garcia is set to star in the show, which premiered in Sydney in 1995 at the Sydney Theatre Festival. It then transferred to the Edinburgh festival, before enjoying a run at Sadler’s Wells. Tap Dogs finally made its West End debut at the Lyric Theatre in London on Shaftesbury Avenue. Following a worldwide tour, the show is ready to be reunited with London’s theatreland.
Tap Dogs is set on a construction site, where the men and women have grown up in the surroundings of the steel making industry. Dressed in vests, faded jeans and work boots, the construction workers begin to tap out rhythms with their feet, which evolves into a mesmerising series of movement and dance sequences using the materials of the site. Ladders, ropes, iron rods and water are just some of the equipment converted into musical instruments in this inspired performance. The show also contains touching elements of wit and humour, keeping the audience visually and mentally stimulated form beginning to end.
Tap Dogs has been choreographed by Dein Perry, who conceived the original show, which has gone on to win an Olivier award. Direction and design is by Nick Triffitt.
