Sunshine Revival Challenge #5

Journaling prompt: Be a carnival barker for your favourite movie, book, or show! Write a post that showcases the best your chosen title has to offer and entices passers by to check it out.

My chosen subject is Sir Matthew Bourne's New Adventures productions.  

No surprise to my regular readers!

For those who aren't: these are dance productions based on classic ballets (Swan Lake, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Nutcracker), films (Edward Scissorhands, The Red Shoes), play or opera (Romeo & Juliet, Car Man) or books (The Midnight Bell).  There are a few more, but I haven't seen them (yet!)

They aren't traditional ballets, but do use some ballet moves, as well as modern dance.  The key thing is the story which is told and which requires no prior knowledge.  These are the dance version of fanfic or fanart, taking the original stories but changing them in interesting ways.

Details can be found here: New Adventures
