MATTHEW BOURNE'S THE CAR MAN
Premieres Fri Mar 12 at 6pm ET, on demand through Sun Mar 21
$15 digital access:

First seen in 2000, winning the Evening Standard Award for “Musical Event of the Year,” The Car Man is loosely based on the popular Bizet opera Carmen and has one of the most recognizable scores in the New Adventures repertory—brilliantly arranged by Terry Davies.

The familiar 19th-century Spanish cigarette factory of the opera becomes a greasy garage-diner in the American mid-west of the 1960s. Lez Brotherston’s epic design and Chris Davey’s evocative lighting perfectly complement Bourne’s vivid choreographic storytelling, which draws on a wealth of cinematic references. Together with the glorious dancing of a wonderful cast lead by Christopher Trenfield as Luca, Zizi Strallen as Lana, Dominic North as Angelo, Kate Lyons at Rita, and Alan Vincent as Dino Alfano, they create a delightful, dangerous, and ultimately uncompromising vision of small-town America.

One of modern dance’s most thrilling and entertaining shows, this performance was filmed live at Sadler’s Wells Theatre during the 2015 revival.
