Beloved Strictly Come Dancing star Anton Du Beke to be joined by West Midlands talent on national tour
Anton Du Beke, a professional dancer on BBC's Strictly Come Dancing, will be joined by Birmingham performer Lauren Oakley on his national tour this year.
The 58-year-old, one of the country’s best-loved and most accomplished entertainers, is setting off on a brand-new nationwide tour dubbed 'Anton Du Beke at the Musicals' in 2025 and will be coming to Wolverhampton Grand Theatre on April 6.
The show will see Anton joined by Birmingham’s own Strictly professional dancer, Lauren Oakley for the spring shows and singer Lance Ellington as they perform numbers from musicals old and new such as Moulin Rouge, Anything Goes, Chorus Line and My Fair Lady.
It will also feature a live band and a company of dancers to create an evening filled with song, dance and a lot of musical fun.
Speaking about the addition of Lauren to the show, Anton said: “I’m thrilled that Lauren Oakley is joining me in 2025 for the spring shows as my leading lady.
"She is an absolute superstar so even if you don’t want to come and see me, come and see her! She’s amazing! Talented, fabulous, extraordinary, Lauren is all of those things!”
“I’m also delighted that Olivier Award-winning Bill Deamer is helping me put together the show. As well as being a musical theatre star himself his choreography is second to none. I’m very pleased to have him on board.”
Lauren Oakley added: “I’ve had the pleasure of touring with Anton last year and as many people know, I’m a huge fan of musicals so to be joining him across the UK, will be a real treat. We look forward to seeing you in 2025.”
Don’t miss this special opportunity to get up close to the King of the Ballroom in 2025!
