VINCENT SIMONE AND FLAVIA CACACE
IN HOLLYWOOD SPECTACULAR
DANCE ‘TIL DAWN
Monday 9th - Saturday 14th February 2015
Monday 9th - Saturday 14th February 2015
Strictly Come Dancing's Vincent Simone and Flavia Cacace hit The Alex's stage in Dance 'Til Dawn, merging dance, theatre and musical theatre, with a little murder mystery. Set in 1940s Hollywood, narrator Tommy Dubrowski (Teddy Kempner) breaks the fourth wall while telling the story of two lovers, Tony and Sadie, played by the Strictly duo, as they try to uncover the scandal and murder of Bobby, Sadie's promiscuous boyfriend, he was shot down by Lana Clemenza, (Abbie Osmon) nightclub performer and wife of a gangster. The piece is full of gags, beautiful live music and hypnotising dance routines. 
Vincent and Flavia are obviously not actors and perhaps this could of been played on a little, they do not speak a word throughout the performance, however their skilled moves do all the talking, from the foxtrot to their famous Argentinian tango, fighting with the Bugsy Malone-like thugs and leaping over knocked out hoods. The pair have amazing chemistry which echos within every step, alongside this is the supporting cast's ability to deliver the epic choreography. Audiences were stunned when gorgeous women were lifted up into the air, appearing to be as light as a feather in the arms of hunky men
The live band and fabulous voice of Oliver Darley and others bring classics back to life, such as Moon River and Cry Me a River while putting a 40s twist on modern hits like Adele's, Rumour Has it and Bruno Mars', Runaway Baby.

The story line is not one that will go down in history as one of the greats, although it is more to expose the talent of these dancers which has attracted audience and kept them glued to the stage and wanting more. It's vibrant set and carefully timed lighting effects dazzle. This is not a show that makes its audience sit back and relax, your eyes will be darting from one performer to another, mesmerised by the quick steps and fancy footwork.
