Thomas & Mear Collaborating on SHOES; Slated for Sadler's Sept. 2010

Composer Richard Thomas is partnering with director and choreographer Stephen Mear for a new dance revue called 'Shoes' slated to premiere at Sadler's Wells for a limited engagement September 3-11, 2010.

From the production's website, "Inspired by one of the great passions of the modern age, 'Shoes' explores the gamut of footwear, from the highs of the Louboutin to the lows of the Croc. Composed by Richard Thomas, in his first large-scale production since the legendary West End and Broadway hit Jerry Springer - The Opera, and featuring the work of a team of leading choreographers, Shoes is a dance revue that sees life told from street-level perspective with wit, irreverence and affection.

Shoes features choreography and direction by multi-award winning Stephen Mear (Mary Poppins, Sweet Charity, The Little Mermaid), acclaimed as "the best showbiz choreographer we have" (The Guardian). Alongside Mear, Sadler's Wells has invited leading choreographers Aletta Collins (Bloom, The Tempest, Jesus Christ Superstar), Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui (zero degrees, Sutra) and Kate Prince (Into the Hoods) to create dance numbers inspired by Thomas's songs."

Featuring a cast of twelve dancers, four singers, including Australian singing sensation Kate Miller-Heidke and Olivier Award nominee Alison Jiear accompanied by a live band.
