FLASHDANCE Returns to the Stage

Take your passion and make it happen - one of the 80s' favourite musicals is returning to the stage for the first time since 2011.

Flashdance - The Musical will debut at the King's Theatre, Glasgow on Friday 4 August before embarking on an extensive UK tour.

Prepare to be blown away with an astonishing musical spectacle and phenomenal choreography to the iconic score with songs including the smash hits Maniac, Manhunt, Gloria, I Love Rock & Roll and the award-winning title track Flashdance - What a Feeling.

Produced by the team at Selladoor Productions - producers of Footloose, Avenue Q and Little Shop of Horrors - and Runaway Entertainment - producers of In The Heights, Guys and Dolls and Lazarus, Flashdance - The Musical is not to be missed.

Flashdance - The Musical tells the inspiring and unforgettable story of 18-year-old Alex, a welder by day and 'flashdancer' by night, who dreams of going to the prestigious Shipley Dance Academy and becoming a professional dancer. When a romance complicates her ambitions, she harnesses it to drive her dream.

Based on the Paramount Pictures film (screenplay by Tom Hedley and Joe Eszterhas, story by Tom Hedley) Flashdance is an inspiring musical about the power of holding onto your dreams and love against all odds. Flashdance proved a hit with audiences, and remained in the Top 10 Box Office in the States for 15 weeks after release. The original soundtrack also proved hugely popular, with the soundtrack album selling 700,000 copies within two weeks of its release. The platinum selling hit title track Flashdance - What A Feeling won both an Academy Award and a Golden Globe in 1983, with the soundtrack winning the Grammy Award for Best Album of Original Score Written for a Motion Picture or a Television Special in 1984.

Flashdance - The Musical is produced by Selladoor Productions and Runaway Entertainment.
