World premiere of a stunning new musical at Manchester's Palace Theatre.
Full of compassion, honesty and humour, Dancing Bear explores the struggle between faith, sexuality and gender identity.
A multi-talented cast (featuring Divina De Campo) deftly flip between catchy pop tunes and dramatic storytelling to create a feast for the heart and head.
Dancing Bear is a dizzying cabaret of contradictions: glamorous and unflinching, hilarious and heart-breaking, deeply personal and uplifting.
Please note – this show contains some full frontal nudity.
