Strictly Ballroom the Musical UK Tour

Strictly Ballroom the Musical is based on the 1992 film written and directed by Baz Luhrmann, who went on to create Moulin Rouge. I saw the original production in 2016 when it was directed and choreographed by Drew McOnie. Although it had previously been produced in Sydney and Melbourne. After it’s run in Leeds, starring Sam Lips and Gemma Sutton, the book was changed and all the songs were removed replacing them with more well known songs. The new version was taken to Toront
