by Emma Cambey
- Apr 13, 2014
"A life lived in fear is a life half lived" or so say the characters of Strictly Ballroom in both the musical and the 1992 original film.

To take one of your most popular and iconic films and turn it into a stage musical requires courage and a whole lot of confidence and creativity, none of which Baz Luhrmann lacks. The resulting musical, which opened Saturday night, is one that will please and entertain fans of the iconic film and will also create a new generation of fans of the story in its new form.
