Overview

Dance like you’ve never danced before! FLASHDANCE THE MUSICAL tells the inspiring and unforgettable story of 18 year-old Alex, a welder by day and “flashdancer” by night, who dreams of going to the prestigious Shipley Dance Academy and becoming a professional dancer. When a romance complicates her ambitions, she harnesses it to drive her dream.

Based on the Paramount Pictures film (Screenplay by Tom Hedley and Joe Eszterhas, story by Tom Hedley), this is an inspiring musical about the power of holding onto your dreams and love against all the odds. The iconic score features such best-selling hits as “Maniac,” “Manhunt,” “Gloria,” “I Love Rock & Roll” and the sensational title track “Flashdance…What a Feeling.”
