Hot Shoe Shuffle

ALL REMAINING TICKETS ARE AVAILABLE FOR $65* (CHILDREN & CONCESSION 50*).
Please note, Hot Tix tickets do not include a Q&A.

It's been almost twenty years since Hot Shoe Shuffle first wowed audiences around the world.

It's song and dance at its very best and most exciting. It's time to get a whole new generation on their feet cheering and applauding.

If you've seen the show you'll need no convincing to see it again, and if you haven't you're in for the best night you'll spend at the theatre in 2013.

Returning to the stage for the first time in 15 years, David Atkins will play DEXTER a role originally played by Jack Webster. Jersey Boys star Bobby Fox will play SPRING, the eldest of the tap brothers, a role originally created by David Atkins and Hairspray's Jaz Flowers will play APRIL the long lost sister.

A London West End Olivier Award, an Aria Award for Best Soundtrack, 3 Green Room Awards and an Advance Australia Award, the show's credentials are outstanding.

The hits of the Big Band Era...and the hottest tapping you'll ever see with a brilliant Australian cast.

A strictly limited number of $20 Hot Seats are available for every performance of Hot Shoe Shuffle for patrons aged 13-21 years. These Hot Seats can only be purchased from the QPAC Box Office on the day of the performance (ID required). Limit 1 Hot Seat ticket per person until all Hot Seats are sold.

The seven Tap Brothers (Spring, Slap, Buck, Wing, Tip, Tap and Slide) learn of the death of their long-absent father, who has apparently left them a fortune. The only catch is that to receive their inheritance, they must rehearse and perform his legendary 'Act’ – the Hot Shoe Shuffle!! In addition, the must also include their long-lost sister, April, into The Act. The only problem is – she has two left feet!

Coached by a friend of their fathers, Max Renfield, the brothers eventually overcome their resentment and suspicion of April, and she becomes part of the family and the show.

A twist in the plot reveals that the inheritance tale is a ruse to bring the family back together again, and the Hot Shoe Shuffle is finally performed triumphantly, in the tradition of the best Broadway musicals.

David is the first and only Australian to win an MTV award for choreography. His original production Hot Shoe Shuffle was the first Australian musical on London’s West End, for which he won the prestigious Olivier Award. David has directed and produced some of the largest live events of this decade, across continents, languages and international audiences, including the Ceremonies of the Doha 2006 Asian Games, the Opening, Closing and Victory ceremonies of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games, the Opening Ceremony of Shanghai 2010 World Expo, and most recently, the 2011 Moscow City Day Anniversary Celebrations, the Opening Ceremony of the 2011 New Zealand Rugby World Cup and the Ceremonies of the 12th Arab Games Doha 2011.
