After a sell-out success at Sadler’s Wells and prior to a world tour, Bourne's trademark wit, pathos and magical theatricality, took the Wimbledon audience on a breath-taking journey from a hilariously bleak Christmas Eve at Dr. Dross’ Orphanage, through a shimmering ice-skating wonderland, to the spectacular candy folk of Sweetieland. Set to Tchaikovsky's much loved score, Matthew Bourne’s Nutcracker! was designed by Olivier Award winning, Anthony Ward whose recent credits include Chitty Chitty Bang Bang at the London Palladium.
The renovated theatre provides the perfect stage for large scale shows. The steep theatre (not for those who do not like heights) is reminiscent of days gone by. And Matthew Bourne having achieved worldwide artistic and critical success for his innovative new versions of classic ballets that include Swan Lake and Cinderella, chose to kick-off his world wide tour of this sensational production at the New Wimbledon Theatre.
I believe this is the first time I've actually replaced a posting with a better one. Previous one (runner-up).

Frank Lee, he looks like Freddie Mercury.
