RETURNS TO THE STAGE THIS AUTUMN

An original pioneering ballet for children by Northern Ballet – The Ugly Duckling  is to return to the stage this autumn. The production will be at Leeds’ Stanley & Audrey Burton Theatre from 24 – 27 October.

Based on the famous Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, Ugly Duckling tells the story of a lonely duckling, who doesn’t fit in with her friends. This child-friendly 40-minute ballet follows her journey to love herself and those around her, as she grows up into a beautiful swan.

The colourful production has been created especially for children aged four and above, and their families. It is designed as a way for them to experience live dance, music and theatre together at an affordable price.

Ugly Duckling was the first of the Company’s award-winning series of children’s ballets, which includes the hugely successful Three Little Pigs, Elves & the Shoemaker, Tortoise & the Hare and Goldilocks & the Three Bears, all of which have been adapted for TV by CBeebies.
