Little Dancer: a musical in concert
You know the sculpture. Now hear her story.
She inspired a masterpiece… then vanished into the streets of 19th century Paris.
Little Dancer is a new musical based on the story of Marie van Goethem, the girl who posed for impressionist Edgar Degas and became the heart of one of the most celebrated sculptures in history. This is an exploration of the indomitable spirit of a young woman in a man’s world.
This UK première stars Olivier Award nominee Tiler Peck, principal dancer with the New York Ballet, and is currently featured in the new hit series Étoile (Prime Video).
Little Dancer is created by the Tony Award-winning team behind Anastasia, Ragtime and Once on This Island—Lynn Ahrens (book & lyrics) and Stephen Flaherty (music)—with direction and choreography by five-time Tony Award and Olivier Award-winner Susan Stroman (Smash, The Producers, Crazy for You, Oklahoma!, Contact).
