No other West End show offers the opportunity to jump up on stage and dance with the stars! Set in a cabaret style venue with bar service
throughout, EMERALD STORM offers an unforgettable shared celebration of rhythm, energy, and love of dance.
Tom Ball comments, Earlier this year: I had the incredible opportunity to make my West End debut with EMERALD STORM. It was truly an unforgettable experience, and now I'm absolutely thrilled to return for an extended three-week run. I can't wait to share the magic and energy of this show with even more people. It's going to be an extraordinary journey, and I'm genuinely excited to bring this experience to life once again!
Lead performers Olivia Graydon and Bayley Graham also comment: I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to step back into this powerful, high-energy show. It’s a real privilege to be working alongside such a talented cast and to continue assisting the brilliant choreographic team Sam Heather and Adam Garcia, whose creativity and passion make this production such a special experience to be part of.
Acclaimed figure in the international dance world, legend of tap and twice Olivier Award nominated Garcia (Got To Dance, Sky; Saturday Night Fever; Kiss Me Kate; Coyote Ugly; The Serpent Queen, Amazon Prime), continues to inspire audiences through his stage and screen work. With his seasoned skill, EMERALD STORM thrusts Irish Dance and Tap Dance into the 21st Century.
Co-producer and co-choreographer Adam Garcia comments: I’ve had the privilege and pleasure of performing in around 15 West End shows, but bringing something I helped create to the West End is an absolute dream come true. Tap dancing is my first love and combining it with Irish dance in Emerald Storm showcases some of the finest talent in both disciplines. It’s a celebration of pure skill and entertainment. As is tradition, we invite dancers of all styles and abilities to bring their shoes and join me and the cast on stage for a post-show jam session.
