The evening was a spectacular celebration of dance and musical theatre with over – dancers performing from all over the UK.

Cast member Joe Cramsie had this to say about performing at the Coliseum:

‘It was such an honour to perform at the London Coliseum. On stage I was instantly hit by the electric atmosphere of this special theatre. Performing this beautiful piece in the footsteps of countless incredible dancers, was a visceral experience I’ll never forget’.
