| David Atkins Enterprises Presents - Hot Shoe Shuffle Australian Tour 2013 |
| |
|
Announcing the Tap Brothers!
 Before Tap Dogs and The Boy from Oz, Hot Shoe Shuffle paved the way as the first Australian musical to succeed both at home and internationally and is one of the longest running multi-award winning musicals ever to be produced in Australia. Originally conceived, directed and produced by David Atkins OAM in 1992 it was choreographed by both Atkins and the now world-renowned tap choreographer Dein Perry.
Hot Shoe Shuffle tells the tale of the Seven Tap Brothers, Spring, Slap, Buck, Wing, Tip, Tap and Slide who learn of the death of their long-absent father, who has apparently left them a fortune. The only catch is that to receive their inheritance, they must rehearse and perform his legendary 'Act' - the Hot Shoe Shuffle!! In addition, they must also include their long-lost sister, April, into The Act. The only problem is - she has two left feet!

| Slava's Snowshow storms into Australia! |
| |
 Internationally acclaimed spectacle comes to the Theatre Royal. The multi award-winning international sensation Slava 's Snowshow storms into Australia for a limited season.
"Slava's Snowshow is to clowning what Cirque du Soleil is to circus. Slava's Snowshow is as theatrical as it is simple, as involving as it is inspiring" Variety, USA
Since its creation by renowned Russian clown Slava Polunin in 1993, Slava 's Snowshow has played to millions of people in more than 30 countries and 120 cities including New York, London, Los Angeles, Paris, Rome, Hong Kong, Sydney, Rio de Janeiro and Moscow. The show comes to Australia in 2013 following a second sell-out Winter season in London and is already confirmed to return to London for its third year this Christmas.
The show has garnered worldwide popular and critical acclaim, as well as a growing number of awards - in the USA Slava 's Snowshow earned a Tony nomination for Special Theatrical Event in 2009 and won the Drama Desk Award in 2005 for Unique Theatrical Experience; in the UK, the Olivier Award for BestEntertainment (1998) and the Time Out Award (1994); and in Australia, the Helpmann Award for Best Visual or Physical Theatre (2000); as well as a host of other awards in Russia, France, Mexico, Denmark, Spain and the UK. Slava's Snowshow has been lauded as "a theatre classic of the 20th century" by The Times in London, and Slava Polunin praised as "the best clown in the world".
Slava Polunin created his Snowshow following his sensational performance as part of Cirque du Soleil's Alegria, drawing on the influence of artists such as Charlie Chaplin, Marcel Marceau and Leonid Engibarov. He and his company of clowns have taken clowning out of the world of circus, and brought it into the theater.
The show brilliantly creates a world of wonderment and fantasy that transports the audience to a joyous dream-like place, where a bed becomes a boat in a storm-tossed sea; a woman is wrapped in cellophane and becomes flowers in a vase; a child walks in amazement inside a bubble; Slava boards a train and then becomes the train, his chimney-pot hat billowing smoke; and a web of unspun cotton envelopes the audience. The stunning finale sees a letter turn into snowflakes, and the flakes turn into a snowstorm, which whirls around the auditorium, leaving the audience ankle-deep in snow. Slava's Snowshow is a visual masterpiece loved by children & adults alike.
We are giving away 2x double passes to this brilliant show on Tuesday the 11th June 2013, if you can answer the following question: Which country does this international performance winning clown Slava Polunin originate from?
Competition closes: 31 May 2013.
