Synopsis
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.

There can’t be a better time for a song and dance show about shoes. Ever since Carrie Bradshaw sashayed her way through Sex and the City murmuring “Manolos” way back in 1998, we’ve been besotted with designer footwear and the celebrities that endorse them.
Jerry Springer - The Opera writer Richard Thomas is the ideal person to depict our fixation.

Kaz - 12 September 2010:
This show was awesome. Even though it was about shoes (a subject that is very close to every womans heart especially mine!) there was plenty of humour content to entertain the many men who were in the audience. The dancers were fantastic and proved their ability by dancing in every kind of shoe from a very high stiletto to a pair of skis!! The singers were great especially the exceptionally talented Tim Howar. I do hope this show goes on tour because everyone needs the chance to see it!...
