Matthew Bourne’s The Car Man tickets now available!

Sir Matthew Bourne’s The Car Man comes to the Royal Albert Hall for an extremely limited run. To celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Royal Albert Hall this stunning new staging of The Car Man is coming to life for 14 performances only!

Sir Matthew Bourne’s The Car Man

Fasten your seat belts – The Car Man is back! In a spectacular new staging for the Royal Albert Hall’s 150th anniversary. Sir Matthew Bourne and his renowned dance company New Adventures are bringing their multiple award-winning show to the Royal Albert Hall for 14 performances only!

Based on the well-loved Bizet opera Carmen, this incredible new staging of The Car Man has been adapted and reimagined specifically to best utilise the Royal Albert Hall. Dancers will be performing throughout the auditorium amongst the stellar new stage designs.

The new production will boast an expanded company of 65 dancers and musicians as well as a live orchestra. The new designs now focus on small-town America in the 1960s, a greasy garage/diner instead of a Spanish cigarette factory. When a handsome stranger arrives in town things are suddenly different. Heat and desire begin to drive the townspeople into a downward spiral of lust, greed, betrayal and revenge.

The Car Man cast and creatives

The new production of The Car Man will feature two principal casts. Will Bozier and Richard Winsor will share the role of Luca, The Car Man. The role of Lana will be shared by Ashley Shaw and Zizi Strallen while the role of Angelo will be shared by Paris Fitzpatrick and Dominic North. The told of Rita will be shared by Kayla Collymore and Kate Lyons and Alan Vincent will play Dino.

They will be joined by Jonathon Luke Baker (Franco); Benjamin Barlow Bazeley (Fabio); Alistair Beattie (Marcello); Stephanie Billers (Delores); Isaac Peter Bowry (Elio); Cordelia Braithwaite (Mercedes); Ben Brown (Ricardo); Reece Causton (Dirk); Jade Copas (Natalie); Harrison Dowzell (Rocco); Cameron Flynn (Roberto); Rose Goddard (Sophia); Glenn Graham (Bruno); Bryony Harrison (Frankie); Shoko Ito (Elisabetta); Monique Jonas (Bianca); Nicole Kabera (Gina); Kurumi Kamayachi (Silvana); Katrina Lyndon (Monica); Rory Macleod (Marco); Andrew Monaghan (Vito); Stephen Murray (Chad); Harry Ondrak-Wright (Lorenzo); Edwin Ray (Alberto); Danny Reubens (Hot Rod); Sam Salter (Raf); Gabrielle de Souza (Giulietta); Catrin Thomas (Claudia); Christopher Thomas (Ugo) and Bryony Wood (Elsa).

Director and choreographer Matthew Bourne’s dynamic storytelling comes together with one of the most passionate and dramatic scores written. Musical arrangements are by Terry Davies and feature Rodion Shchedrin’s Carmen Suite (after Bizet’s Carmen). The stunning stage design comes from Lez Brotherston, longtime Bourne collaborator and the Olivier and Tony Award-winning designer responsible for Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Swan Lake. The show has sound from Paul Groothuis and lighting by Chris Davey.

What a troupe of dancers - cant help but be impressed by their athleticism and skill Not sure the staging quite worked in the royal albert hall though... the large catwalk felt surplus to requirements and only served to block the view of the action on the main stage from my seat.

Julie Haggart15th June

Absolutely brilliant show full of talented beautiful people. It really is amazing how the actors / dancers portray the story without dialogue. I've seen dozens of shows in the West End and this is one of the best. Amazing.

I thought that the show was BRILLIANT!!!!!

Mr Griffin (UK)13th June

An excellent production, especially staged to support 150 years of the Royal Albert Hall. An expanded cast to fill the space. You get very close to the performers if seated in 'the arena' but occasionally the view is slightly restricted by persons in front of you (you're all on the same level). Excellent value seats, however!

Pauline Blackburn13th June

Another amazing show by Matthew Bourne with the icing on the cake being in the Royal Albert Hall ??

JB13th June

Fantastic production with superb dancers. Seats in the arena, whilst very close the stage, where not staggered, so views to the main stage where quite restricted by the people in the rows in front. Any scenes performed on the floor of the stage could not be seen. That said, tickets were extremely good value so I shouldn’t complain!

Sue Edwards13th June

Thoroughly enjoyed The Car Man. It was so entertaining and the energy and professionalism of the dancers was evident from start to finish. Would definitely recommend.

Andy Bell13th June

The star ratings are based on the seats we were moved to. Seats in the arena were not described as limited view but it was very difficult to see the stage set or below the dancers' waists because of the closeness of the rows, lack of theatre style seating arrangements and height of the stage. We asked to be moved after about 15 minutes; if we hadn't been given different seats, we would have left, it was that bad.
