Dress up in your best red carpet outfit as you head for a night at the Oscars with former Strictly Come Dancing pros Aljaž Škorjanec and Janette Manrara.
Aljaž and Janette are giving Kent audiences a taste of Hollywood glamour with their new dance show, Remembering the Oscars, at the Orchard Theatre.
The couple, who have been married since 2017, are celebrating the magic of movies on stage with blockbuster soundtracks and spectacular choreography, from Disney movies to vintage classics.
Performing to a mix of contemporary hits from the likes of Adele, Lady Gaga and Eminem as well as some of the most famous numbers in film from Barbra Streisand and Celine Dion, the couple are taking audiences through the history of Hollywood. They will also be showcasing legendary songwriters such as Burt Bacharach and John Barry.
Aljaž and Janette will be joined by a talented cast of dancers and musicians to perform against a stunning backdrop. The dazzling stage production includes a large LED screen, bringing the wow-factor of the silver screen to the stage.
Slovenian-born Aljaž and his wife Janette, from Miami, joined the primetime dance competition as professionals in 2013. Aljaž, who won the glitterball with his first partner Abbey Clancy, shocked fans as he announced he is leaving the ballroom show after nine years earlier this week. Janette, however, left Strictly last year to present its sister show, It Takes Two.
If you didn’t get an invite to the Oscars this award season, don’t worry - Aljaž and Janette are hosting the next best thing.
Remembering the Oscars is at the Orchard Theatre, Dartford, on Tuesday, April 5. Book online here or call 03433 100 033.
There are also a very limited number of tickets remaining for dates at the Marlowe Theatre, Canterbury, on Wednesday, March 30 and Thursday, March 31 and the Central Theatre, Chatham, on Friday, April 1 - but you’ll have to be quick if you want to snap them up.
