STAGE TUBE Exclusive: Watch New Clip from Matthew Bourne's THE CAR MAN, Coming Soon to UK Cinemas

Recently knighted and internationally acclaimed choreographer Matthew Bourne's stunning dance thriller, The Car Man, will be released in cinemas across the UK from 1 March 2016. Performed by Matthew Bourne's Dance Company, New Adventures, the award-winning The Car Man is loosely based on Bizet's popular opera (CARMEN) and has one of the most thrilling and instantly recognisable scores in classical music, brilliantly arranged by Terry Davies. Below, BroadwayWorld brings you an exclusive clip!

The familiar 19th Century Spanish cigarette factory becomes a greasy garage-diner in 1960's America where the dreams and passions of a small-town are shattered by the arrival of a handsome stranger. Fuelled by heat and desire, the inhabitants are driven into an unstoppable spiral of greed, lust, betrayal and revenge. Lez Brotherston's epic design, Chris Davey's evocative lighting and Matthew Bourne's vivid storytelling take in a wealth of cinematic references, creating a powerful and uncompromising vision of small-town America.

Filmed live at Sadler's Wells Theatre, London in August 2015 and starring an outstanding cast of dancers praised for the power and magnetism of their performances, the title role of 'Luca, The Car Man', is played by CHRIS TRENFIELD; 'Lana' by ZIZI STRALLEN; 'Rita', Lana's sister is performed by KATE LYONS; 'Angelo' is played by DOMINIC NORTH; and 'Dino' by ALAN VINCENT. In addition Zizi Strallen recently won the award for Outstanding Female Performance (Modern) in the National Dance Awards, for her performance as Lana in The Car Man.

Matthew Bourne comments: "Of all our New Adventure's dance productions The Car Man has become the show that is most often mentioned as a 'favourite' by audience members, and it's loved by the dancers too who relish the chance to perform such gutsy and challenging roles. I'm delighted that dance fans across the UK will have the opportunity to watch this incredibly powerful 2015 revival on the big screen at their local cinema."

The Car Man is the third Matthew Bourne production to be distributed to cinemas worldwide by London-based Event Cinema specialist More2Screen, following on from Swan Lake 3D in 2012 and Sleeping Beauty in 2014.
