Flashdance The Musical, which had previously been booking through February 26 at the Shaftesbury Theatre, will now complete its West End run in London on January 15.

With music by Robbie Roth, lyrics by Robert Cary and Roth, and book by Cary and Tom Hedley, the show has been directed by Nikolai Foster and features choreography by Arlene Phillips. It is based on the Paramount Pictures film of the same name, and tells the story of 18-year old Alex, a welder by day and ‘flashdancer’ by night, whose dream is to obtain a place at the prestigious Shipley Dance Academy.

The cast features Victoria Hamilton-Barritt (Alex), Matt Willis (Nick), Sarah Ingram (Hannah), Charlotte Harwood (Gloria), Hannah Levane (Keisha), and Twinnie-Lee Moore (Jazmin).
