Little Dancer the New Musical

‘RAVISHING’ (The Washington Post)

‘SCINTILLATING’ (Variety)

‘A BREATHTAKING NEW MUSICAL’ (Manhattan Digest)

You may not know her name. But you know her.

Marie van Goethem has stood in the same fourth position for over a century: arms behind her back, chin lifted, gaze fixed beyond the frame. She was fourteen. Poor. Extraordinary. And determined not to be forgotten.

Little Dancer tells the story of a girl with impossible dreams and the man who immortalised her, Edgar Degas. Two people bound by art, ambition and the ache of wanting to matter.

Set in the dazzling, dangerous world of Belle Époque Paris, where beauty and brutality collide, it asks the question we all carry:

Do we shape our destiny, or does it shape us?

From Tony and Olivier Award-winners Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty (Anastasia, Ragtime, Once on This Island) and directed and choreographed by five-time Tony and Olivier Award-winner Susan Stroman (The Producers, Crazy for You, Oklahoma!), comes this sweeping, emotionally charged new musical.

Starring Emmy Award-winner and Olivier Award-nominee Tiler Peck, alongside Olivier Award-nominees Julian Ovenden, Laura Pitt-Pulford and Josefina Gabrielle.

Lush. Evocative. Achingly human. Experience Little Dancer at Theatre Royal Haymarket for six weeks only from February 2027, prior to a world tour.
