Sizzling Circus Show BLANC DE BLANC Comes to London Hippodrome

The Circus comes to town with the London premiere of sizzling new show BLANC DE BLANC. After a sold-out, critically acclaimed run at the Sydney Opera House, Blanc de Blanc comes to the London Hippodrome from the 14 July until the 28 August with press night on Friday 22 July. Blanc de Blanc is brought to you from the award-winning creative team behind Madonna's recent Rebel Heart Tour, and is directed by Scott Maidment (LIMBO, Cantina, Madonna' Rebel Heart Tour), choreographed by Kevin Maher (choreographed for Justin Bieber, Britney Spears and Madonna), with costumes by James Brown (All Saints, Australian Idol).

This brand new production direct from a triumphant run at Sydney Opera House promises a thrillingly up-close and seductive evening in the intimacy of the iconic Hippodrome Theatre. Every act in the show is inspired by champagne: from giant bubbles and foam, to a champagne fountain and a fabulous champagne spa, through k-Pop to an explosive champagne-pouring codpiece and more! Blanc de Blanc takes you on an immersive journey through all the feelings surrounding a glass of champagne ­- from the sophistication of pouring the gold, sparkling liquid to the effervescent explosiveness of that first sip. Blanc de Blanc offers heady top notes followed by rich textures, a smooth body and an utterly unexpected finish.

Director Scott Maidment said: "With an amazing history of performance, the Hippodrome has a unique atmosphere filled with theatre heritage of a bygone era. This was the obvious place for Blanc's London premiere. Having devised several shows for London, I wanted to find a venue that was much more than just a theatre: a space that would evoke the style, sophistication and fun atmosphere of the show itself. Once we had this venue and these amazing performers from around the world, the only thing left to do was shake it up and make it fizz."

Simon Thomas, CEO of the Hippodrome Casino, whose 240-seat cabaret theatre will host Blanc de Blanc's London run, said: "I couldn't be more excited to welcome a circus show back to the Hippodrome. When the building opened as a theatre in 1900 it was a circus venue, with a 100,000 gallon pool and presented London's most ambitious shows involving bears, tigers and lions with a stagecoach racing around the auditorium pulled by horses.

"Blanc de Blanc represents a heartfelt ambition I have had since opening the theatre here at The Hippodrome to bring back a new and dynamic circus show. Once again we will be pushing new boundaries in entertainment for London."

The show will be produced by Strut & Fret Production House (Cantina, LIMBO) in association with The London Hippodrome.
