Richard Harris's award-winning comedy Stepping Out is to undertake a small tour then open at London's Vaudeville Theatre from 1 March 2017. The tour will take in Bath, Richmond, Cambridge and Chichester.
Stepping Out will star Amanda Holden, Angela Griffin, Tracy-Ann Oberman, Tamzin Outhwaite and Nicola Stephenson and will be directed by Maria Friedman.
Stepping Out charts the lives of seven women and one man attempting to tap their troubles away at a weekly dancing class. Initially all thumbs and left feet, the group is just getting to grips with the basics when they are asked to take part in a charity gala. Over the course of several months, we meet the group, and all of them have a story to tell. There's perfectionist Vera, mouthy Maxine and uptight Andy, bubbly Sylvia and shy Dorothy, eager Lynne and cheerful Rose, and, of course, Geoffrey. At the piano is the dour Mrs Fraser and spurring them all on, the ever-patient Mavis.
Stepping Out premiered in the West End in 1984, winning the Evening Standard award for Best Comedy. It was later made into a film starring Liza Minelli.
