Dance 'til Dawn to tour again following West End run

It has been announced that, following the conclusion of its current West End run at the Aldwych Theatre, Dance 'til Dawn will embark on another UK Tour from Wednesday 28th January. See dates below.

The show stars Vincent Simone and Flavia Cacace. The former World Champions have been dancing together for twenty years and stole the hearts of the British public with their breathtaking Argentine Tango on TV’s Strictly Come Dancing. Since the dazzling duo launched Midnight Tango in 2010, they have thrilled over half a million people across the UK both on tour and in London’s West End.

Dance ‘Til Dawn is directed by Olivier Award winning choreographer and director Karen Bruce.

Review: Vincent Simone & Flavia Cacace star in Dance 'til Dawn at the Aldwych Theatre

Marking their return to the West End, Vincent Simone and Flavia Cacace's new dance show takes them in a whole new direction. Hot on the heels of the success of Midnight Tango, Dance 'til Dawn shows Vincent and Flavia like you've never seen them before!

Set in 1920s Hollywood, Teddy Kempner (Tommy Dubrowski) narrates the story of romance and jealousy. Abbie Osmon provides top notch diva vocals as Lana Clemenza whilst Vincent and Flavia star as Sadie Strauss and Tony DeLuca who develop a relationship following the murder of leading man Bobby Burns.

The piece is very lighthearted and doesn't take itself too seriously; Kempner makes fun of theatre in general throughout which is often amusing, although at times the humour verges on irritating. The true stars of the show are the wonderful ensemble who are slick, smooth and bursting with joy and charisma. I couldn't get enough of the group numbers and would love to have seen more! The live band sound absolutely amazing, the music is suitably varied, featuring something for everyone.

200th Interview: Flavia Cacace & Vincent Simone

Following the success of Midnight Tango, Flavia Cacace and Vincent Simone are preparing to open their new show Dance ’Til Dawn which transfers to the West End’s Aldwych Theatre following a successful UK Tour. 

Best known for starring in Strictly Come Dancing (BBC), Vincent and Flavia have been dancing together for twenty years. The former World Champions stole the hearts of the British public with their breathtaking Argentine Tango on the popular television programme. 

Together they launched Midnight Tango in 2010 which went on to be seen by over half a million people during its tours and two West End runs (Aldwych and Phoenix). Dance ‘Til Dawn is directed by Olivier Award winning choreographer and director Karen Bruce who also directed Midnight Tango.

I recently spoke to Vincent and Flavia about why Dance ‘Til Dawn will surprise people, how they developed the show from page to stage and why they’re so excited to be back in the West End…

I believe Dance 'Til Dawn is very different to Midnight Tango. What were your initial visions for the show?

Flavia Cacace: We wanted it to be very different and didn’t really want it to be compared to Midnight Tango because that was so special in itself. We wanted to create something completely different and wanted to dance Ballroom and Latin as well as Argentine Tango which in Midnight Tango we didn’t really do. So together with our director Karen (Bruce) and producer Adam (Spiegel) we came up with the idea of branching out a little bit and heading a little more towards musical theatreland.
