TAP DOGS PRESS RELEASE
“TAP DOGS” TO BE THE WEST END’S NEW TOP DOGS
THE DOGS TO OPEN AT THE NOVELLO THEATRE ON TUESDAY 15 JUNE FOR A STRICTLY LIMITED 12-WEEK SEASON
“TAP DOGS”, the sensational dance show from Australia which received rave reviews when first produced in England fifteen years ago in 1995, and was last seen in London at Sadler’s Wells Theatre in 2001, will again take the capital by storm this Summer. The Dogs will open at the Novello Theatre on Tuesday 15 June for a strictly limited 12-week season. “TAP DOGS” has toured the world with huge success ever since its original inception at the 1995 Sydney Theatre Festival in Australia, where it was a runaway hit.
“TAP DOGS” will star heartthrob Adam Garcia (a regular judge on Sky One’s “Got To Dance” this year, and recent star of West End shows “Wicked” and “Saturday Night Fever”). “TAP DOGS” will also star Douglas Mills (who has been with the show since the first 1995 London production). The cast will feature Matthew Papa as ‘The Enforcer’, Richie Miller as ‘Kid’, Donovan Helma as ‘Funky’, Jesse Rasmussen as ‘Rat’ and Jason Lewis.
“TAP DOGS” has been created and choreographed by Olivier Award-winner Dein Perry. The show will be designed and directed by Nigel Triffitt, with music by Andrew Wilkie and lighting by Gavin Norris. This production will be staged by the entire original creative team and will be produced by Liz Koops for Back Row Productions.
