Vincent and Flavia - Dance 'Til Dawn Tour

in Strictly Come Dancing #1
Only five weeks to go until Vincent & Flavia's new Dance 'Til Dawn tour starts so I thought I'd start this new thread for info/reviews/reports etc that anyone might want to add.

The Midnight Tango one was pretty well used and viewed so thought some might be interested in this one :)

Tour dates are from Feb-July but I think they are hoping it might be continued for a possible West End run/2015 Tour.

Dates/Venues are all on the website for this year....

    A couple of little peeks of what to expect from Dance 'Til Dawn

    This is from the Royal Variety Performance a few weeks ago with Flavia and the Dance 'Til Dawn cast. :)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0kLzojizCI&feature=youtu.be


    And this is a short clip that Vincent tweeted earlier of him and Flavia rehearsing their new Argentine Tango - It looks AMAZING and so fast! :D

    That doesn't sound fun at all - for them.

    I just mentally went through that route. All those hotel rooms for pretty much three months solid! Not much time all at home.

    Dilly you seem to know them. How much time will they be spending at home and when?

    I suppose they are both still young and fit and have to do it when they can. I hope they are staying in the same chain hotels so the beds will seem familiar.

    Closest to London is Woking.

    They generally go home every weekend and when at venues like Woking stay at home the whole week (They both stay in Guildford so not far at all)

    Plus if you look at the dates they have 10 in a row off in March, 9 off in April, and 9 off in May so really it isn't so bad when you look at the inbetween dates.
    They both make sure they have a good balance of working away and being at home now I'd say :)


    ETA: Also in previous years both Jimi and Susan have travelled around with them quite a lot although that might be different this year with Jimi filming in Corrie and Susan having a new baby.

    It would surprise you just how much home/family time they will manage to make still even with a busy schedule ;)

    I have been looking forward to the Dance Til Dawn tour since The Royal Variety Performance.
    Sadly, I cannot believe that there is no CENTRAL LONDON dates or venues :(. Therefore, I'll look forward to the reviews here! ;-)

    Midnight Tango wasn't shown in London until after the first tour (ie testing it out in the provinces).

    And as the poster above put, try Woking. This is very close from Waterloo. Or Southend which is about 50 mins by train from London (if you are based more out east).

    I got the new Dance Today mag in the iPad version and I have to say that Dance 'Til Dawn sounds absolutely incredible. Lots of snippets about the show in the interview with Flavia. Basically it is a detective comedy ... with dance of course, and with an orchestra, 25 cast members, singers, narrator/detective... all sorts. :D
    It sounds like it is a MASSIVE show and on a bigger scale than Midnight Tango. A lot of the dancers come from a musical theatre background so there will be a crossover between this, and the ballroom/latin world.
    Some old music. some newer music and a couple of newly composed tracks especially for the show.

    She doesn't give anything away about the wedding when asked and says it was a really special day for them both which they wanted to share with their close friends and family and that they are still holding onto the details privately as they aren't quite ready to share yet as it is still all a bit special at the moment <3... How lovely :)

    All in all it is a lovely interview with her and well worth reading.

    Tomorrow night Vincent and Flavia will be performing one of their brand new tangos from Dance 'Til Dawn on the RTE Saturday Night show in Dublin. I think for those of us not in Ireland, we might be able to view via the RTE player.

    The Saturday Night Show is on RTÉ One at 10.05pm

    A couple of interviews with Flavia from when her and Vincent were in Dublin last weekend.

    http://www.evoke.ie/strictly-star-will-be-dancing-till-dawn-doing-a-irish-jig-in-a-new-production-due-to-visit-dublin-next-month/

    Love the sound of this one... Flavia Irish dancing with Michael Flatley? This would be something to see should it ever happen :D

    I'm also GOBSMACKEDLY SHOCKED they've NO LONDON DATES set up as they are supremely popular in the capital plus they ARE definitely Top WEST END level performers--hope they'll be adding some dates to their Tour List. They are EQUALLY well-loved by dance fans and do great, full-on, cleverly choreographed and impressive shows.

    West End dates will likely follow shortly. They did a Midnight Tango UK tour before their first WE run so will probably follow the same path with DTD. Vincent already mentions a possible WE run from August this year in an interview I posted earlier today, so maybe something will come of that, or else if they are back on SCD which he also mentions is a possibility, their WE run could be early next year :)
