Strictly Come Dancing’s charismatic Brendan Cole will take to the stage in 2018 to wow audiences with his latest spectacular production from PMB Presentations, All Night Long, back by popular demand following a hugely successful and critically acclaimed run earlier this year. The show will open at Sheffield City Hall on 18th January touring venues across the UK until April.
Created and hosted by Brendan himself, it takes audiences on a journey through dance, music, comedy, passion, intimacy and all things ballroom as he is joined on stage by a sensational cast of superbly talented championship dancers, singers and a 13-piece band; whipping up an extravagant mix of Latin fever and ballroom magic. Featuring all your Strictly favourites, from tantalising Tango to powerful Paso Doble, elegant Foxtrot to breath-taking Waltz – and with a few surprises in store – this is no ordinary dance show.
Brendan Cole is best known from TV favourite Strictly Come Dancing and is one of just two of the professional dancers to have competed in each series. Having this year been paired with Good Morning Britain’s Charlotte Hawkins, previous partners have included Natasha Kaplinsky, Kelly Brook, Lisa Snowdon, Jo Wood, Victoria Pendleton, Sunetra Sarker; Kirsty Gallacher, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and pop star Anastacia.
All Night Long brings you high energy dynamite dance together with live music, stunning special effects and Brendan’s own dazzling choreography performed to the songs of great music legends and exciting contemporary artists, to make for an unforgettable night – make sure you join him for the party!
