The revival of Matthew Bourne's adaptation of Bizet's sizzling masterpiece Carmen, renamed The Car Man, is heading out on a UK tour!

Aptly so, as Bourne transplants the action from 19th-century Spain to a 1950s American garage diner.

First seen in 2000, The Car Man is one of Bourne and New Adventures' most popular works, delivering a dramatic and sumptuous retelling of the story of the infamous femme fatale, featuring dazzling choreography and a blazing score.

Playing Bristol Hippodrome from Tuesday to Saturday, September 1-5.
