The National Theatre’s family favourite Ballet Shoes will return to play a Christmas season in the Olivier Theatre as part of incoming director and co-CEO Indhu Rubasingham’s inaugural season.
Directed by Katy Rudd, Kendall Feaver’s acclaimed adaptation of Noel Streatfeild’s much-loved 1930s novel will return to enchant audiences for the 2025 festive season.
Announcing the production’s National Theatre encore, Rubasingham, said: “I am proud that Ballet Shoes will be returning to the Olivier this Christmas. It is a celebration of what the NT does best– when all the teams, departments and the widest range of expertise come together to create a family show for all audiences full of theatrical magic. I want more people to see this beautiful show made by wonderful artists, developed and built by this brilliant organisation.”
The creative team for the production also includes set designer Frankie Bradshaw, costume designer Samuel Wyer, choreographer Ellen Kane, composer Asaf Zohar, dance arranger and orchestrator Gavin Sutherland, lighting designer Paule Constable, sound designer Ian Dickinson for Autograph and video designer Ash J Woodward, with illusions by Chris Fisher. The casting director is Bryony Jarvis-Taylor, the dialect coach is Penny Dyer and the voice coach is Cathleen McCarron.
The exact dates and casting will be announced at a later date.
