ZooNation Dance Company's INTO THE HOODS: REMIXED Comes to Sheffield

ZooNation Dance Company bring a newly revamped production of their award-winning hip-hop fairytale dance show INTO THE HOODS: REMIXED to the Lyceum Theatre from Tuesday 22 - Wednesday 23 March.

The show that took the West End by storm when it debuted in 2008, returns to the stage with all the wit and charm of the original under the direction of Sadler's Wells Associate Artist Kate Prince. Set in the 'Ruff Endz Estate', the story follows two lost school children who have been tasked to find an iPhone as white as milk, trainers as pure as gold, a hoodie as red as blood and some weave as yellow as corn. Along the way, they encounter familiar fairytale characters with an urban twist - DJ Spinderella, wannabe singer Lil Red, vivacious rapper Rap On Zel, budding music producer Jaxx and embark upon a storybook adventure into the heart of a pulsating community.

An upbeat feel-good family show INTO THE HOODS: REMIXED, the first ever hip-hop dance show to appear in the West End, will delight with its street attitude, infectious energy and slick moves.

INTO THE HOODS: REMIXED is at the Lyceum Theatre from Tuesday 22 - Wednesday 23 March. Tickets can be purchased from Sheffield Theatres' Box Office in-person, by phone on 0114 249 6000 or online at sheffieldtheatres.co.uk and are priced from £16.00 - £23.00 (a transaction fee of £1.50 (£1.00 online) applies to all bookings made at the Box Office, excluding cash). Discounts are available.

After gaining a coveted position at The Place's Hothouse course in 2005, ZooNation was able to develop the idea for its first full length show, Into the Hoods. Sadler's Wells commissioned Into the Hoods and it was performed for the first time at the Peacock Theatre in February 2006. The two performances were so warmly received that Sadler's Wells invited ZooNation to further develop the show and bring it back for a full week in the summer of the same year. Following this run and after a sell-out five-star award-winning season at the Edinburgh Fringe, the production was licensed to Phil McIntyre Entertainment who produced the show at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2007 and for its opening on the West End stage in 2008.

The cast of INTO THE HOODS won the 2009 What's On Stage Theatregoers' Choice Award for Best Ensemble Performance and Kate Prince was nominated for the 2009 Laurence Olivier Award for Best Theatre Choreographer. In 2008 the cast of Into the Hoods were invited to create a special performance for Nelson Mandela's 90th Birthday Celebrations in Hyde Park. In 2009 and 2010, The South Bank Centre staged two successful revivals of Into the Hoods, firstly with a sell-out 3 week Christmas run in the Queen Elizabeth Hall, followed by a summer season in the Royal Festival Hall.
