ZooNation: Some Like it Hip Hop

Sadler's Wells is definitely one of my absolute favourite theatres. I first went there to see Matthew Bourne's Edward Scissorhands in 2007 and have been going back ever since and have never been disappointed by any production I've seen! I would recommend this theatre to anyone. There's always a variety of productions on ranging from ballet to hip hop to bollywood and more. It's fantastic!



At the beginning of May 2013 I went to Peacock Theatre to see the company Zoonation's dance show 'Some Like it Hip Hop' (directed, written and choreographed by Kate Prince) which was massively entertaining. It is a story of 'love, mistaken identity and revolution and where women are kept subservient to men.' It was full of extremely talented dancers, musicians and singers who all portrayed their character's personality through their choreography - this in particular was very enjoyable to watch.





I loved the aspect of having infectious live music (written by DJ Walde, Josh Cohen and Kate Prince) incorporated into the performance and choreography. It really brought the show to life and had us all up, dancing and singing along at the end of the show. All in all a really fantastic and fun show suitable for a wide age range that hit many emotional levels making us laugh, cry, be amazed and left us singing and dancing into the night - a real feel-good show!

Book tickets here. If you go on a Tuesday or Thursday you can go to a post show 30 minute dance class teaching basic street dance steps with the cast!
