Dancing Shoes - The George Best Story, tells the turbulent and amazing life story of one of the greatest footballers the world has ever seen.

Co-written by the ever popular Marie Jones (Stones in his Pockets) and Martin Lynch, with music and songs by JJ Gilmour (The Silencers) and Pat Gribben (The Adventures),  Dancing Shoes was an outstanding success when it premiered at Belfast Grand Opera House last summer, playing to 23,000 in just three weeks.

Directed by Dublin's own Peter Sheridan (Shawshank Redemption), Marie Jones returns following her worldwide hits Stones In His Pockets, Women On The Verge Of HRT and A Night In November.

This exceptional story of ex-Manchester United football legend, George Best takes us on a journey from his humble beginnings on the Cregagh Estate, Belfast to a life of fame, fortune and and controversy.

Peter Sheridan says "People nowadays have to remember that George Best was the original David Beckham. He had all the fame in the world, romanced several ex-Miss Worlds and did enough drinking to rival the best. It's all there. A fantastic story. I know Dublin audiences will love it."

Playwright, Marie Jones added, "I am absolutely thrilled with the way this show has turned out. The songwriters have come up with the most amazing, beautiful, catchy songs and music. In Belfast the audiences came out of the theatre singing them."

The show has been given the thumbs-up by a who's who of famous sports people and celebrities:

Callum Best (George's son), "This show put me through the emotional wringer. It was brilliant though and the cast were superb."

Sean Bean, actor, "I'm a great George Best fan but this show is something special. I loved it."

Norman Whiteside, ex-Man U footballer, "I cried and I laughed all night. Highly recommended."

Ian Woosnam, golfer, "A Brilliant story, fantastic songs, I left the theatre singing"

Combining the talents of two of Northern Ireland's most popular playwrights Marie Jones and Martin Lynch with the superb song writing talents of Glasgow's JJ Gilmour and Belfast's Pat Gribben, Dancing Shoes is packed with humour, great characters and beautiful songs. Don't miss it!
