See Wayne Sleep live in Blackpool at The Grand Theatre on 10th October 2022

Wayne Sleep invites theatre audiences to join him in Stafford as he looks back over a glittering career spanning five decades, with a little bit of dance and the unique opportunity of a Q&A in the second half of the show.

With the use of his own rare film footage and photos, Wayne will describe how he became a Principal Dancer at the Royal Ballet with numerous roles specially created for him before moving on to starring roles in the West End, founding his own dance company, and touring the world with it in his show Dash.

He will describe his first steps into the world of film and TV are illustrated with rarely seen clips and cover his own TV series The Hot Shoe Show, the prestige of being a special guest on The Morecambe and Wise Show, starring alongside Sean Connery, and all of the off-camera gossip about The Real Marigold Hotel. Bringing it all up to the present Wayne will cover his recent appearances in Celebrity Reality shows and will talk about his long-standing association with the Royal Family, including his relationship with Princess Margaret and his close personal friendship with Diana, Princess of Wales.

“This intimate insight into his life was interspersed with footage from Wayne’s private archive … I think it’s fair to say that we were all captivated by his stories and we will keep an eye out for what’s to come next in Wayne’s world.” - Spalding Today

Finally, any evening with Wayne wouldn’t be complete without a step or two plus there will be a Q&A in the second half so you’ll not be disappointed!
