Synopsis

A journey from Elizabethan times to chorus lines and line dancing – the girls shake, shimmy and shuffle their way through time in search of love. Will they ever break free and find the fame they dream of?

The Rhinestone Rollers are a unique power-wheelchair dancing troupe.  Interpreting classic dances in their own extraordinary way – and with tongues firmly in cheek! – the Rollers continue to take London festivals by storm. Studley Dudley, their inimitable caller and audio describer, enables blind and visually impaired people to engage with the shows, whilst signed singers translate songs into sign language for deaf festival-goers.

Hold onto your stetsons – the Rhinestone Rollers may wheel into town once more…
