See Who’s Starring in London Stage Adaptation of Ballet Shoes
Katy Rudd will direct Kendall Feaver’s stage version of Noel Streatfeild’s best-selling book at the National.
Casting is complete for the National Theatre’s stage adaptation of Noel Streatfeild’s best-selling book Ballet Shoes. Penned by Kendall Feaver (The Almighty Sometimes), the festive family show will begin performances in the Olivier November 23 prior to an official London opening December 5.
Directed by Katy Rudd, newly announced cast members include Yanexi Enriquez as Petrova Fossil and Pearl Mackie as Sylvia plus ensemble members Stacy Abalogun, Philip Labey, Sharol Mackenzie, Nuwan Hugh Perera, and Katie Singh with onstage swing Katie Lee.
These artists join the previously reported Sonya
Cullingford as Winifred, Jenny Galloway as Nana, Nadine Higgin as Theo
Dane, Helen Lymbery as Doctor Jakes, Xolishweh Ana Richards as
Ballerina, Sid Sagar as Jayan Saravanan, Grace Saif as Pauline Fossil, Justin Salinger as GUM, and Daisy Sequerra as Posy Fossil, along with
ensemble members Eryck Brahmania, Cordelia Braithwaite, Michelle
Cornelius, Courtney George, and Georges Hann.
The play is set in a crumbling house full of dinosaur bones and fossils, as three adopted
sisters—Pauline, Petrova, and Posy—are learning who they are and what
they want to be under the watchful eyes of their guardian
Sylvia, Nana, and some unlikely lodgers. But in a world that wasn’t built for women with big
ambitions, can they forge a future and keep their family together?
The creative team also includes set designer Frankie Bradshaw, costume designer Samuel Wyer, choreographer Ellen Kane, composer Asaf Zohar, dance arranger and orchestrator Gavin Sutherland, lighting designer Paule Constable, sound designer Ian Dickinson for Autograph, video designer Ash J Woodward, casting director Bryony Jarvis-Taylor, dialect coach Penny Dyer, voice coaches Cathleen McCarron and Tamsin Newlands, associate choreographer Jonathan Goddard, and staff director Aaliyah Mckay.
Performances will continue through February 22, 2025.
