Car Man


Last night we went to see the Car Man at Sadlers Wells. Wow!


It was fantastic. A dance adaptation of Bizet's Carmen set in an American mid-west town in the fifties. The music was great of course, and played live. The choreography was stunning and the dancing was sexy, physical yet tender, and wonderfully competent. The whole thing was riveting. Well done again to Matthew Bourne and company.

I think it's the 2nd best of Bourne's shows. I saw the original at the Old Vic about...7 or so years ago.

In my opinion, Edward Scissorhands was his best piece. Whenever it comes back go see it...
