Double Olivier and five-time Tony Award winner Susan Stroman will direct and choreograph the highly anticipated one-night concert of the new musical Little Dancer, written by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane on July 27th.
Little Dancer will feature Tiler Peck, one of the most celebrated ballerinas of her generation. Edgar Degas will be played by the Olivier nominated actor Julian Ovenden.
Part fact and part fiction, the story of Little Dancer follows the life of the young Paris Opera Ballet dancer, Marie van Goethem, who inspired Edgar Degas sculpture, the “Little Dancer.”
