Shall We Dance: A Tribute to Richard Rodgers, a new dance-theater piece directed, choreographed, and starring former Tony Award nominee Adam Cooper, will make its world premiere at Sadler’s Wells, July 23-August 30.

The company’s season will also include the return of two works by award-winning director-choreographer Matthew Bourne: Dorian Gray (July 7-19) and Swan Lake (December 10-January 24). In addition, the company will offer its annual production of the musical stage adaptation of Raymond Briggs’ The Snowman to play the West End’s Peacock Theatre (December 2-January 10).

In addition, the company will debut Svapnagata, a two-week festival of Indian music and dance which will run November 16-28. Nitin Sawhney and Akram Khan will curate the festival, which will bring over 60 both Indian and British Asian musicians, dancers and choreographers.
