David Walliams and Bonnie Langford among guests at The Car Man opening

Guests including Bonnie Langford, David Walliams and Sophie Ellis-Bextor walked the red carpet at Sadler's Wells last night for the gala performance of Matthew Bourne's The Car Man.

Other guests included Adam Garcia, Mark Rylance, Samuel Barnett, Samantha Bond, Holliday Grainger and Zoe Wanamaker.

Jonathan Ollivier and Chris Trenfield share the title role in this production loosely based on Bizet's opera, alongside Zizi Strallen (soon to lead the cast of the Mary Poppins UK tour) and original Billy Elliot Liam Mower.

The revival, which has been touring the UK since April and is based, marks the first time the production has been staged in eight years.

The Car Man runs at Sadler's Wells until 9 August. Click here for more information and to book tickets.
