The Spring Tour follows a hugely success Autumn Tour in 2007 which saw Angelina Ballerina entertain over 80,000 Angelina fans across the UK. English National Ballet has had an overwhelmingly positive audience response to Angelina's Star Performance including:

"We had a fantastic evening. It was a wonderful and fun ballet. My daughter loved it."

"My youngest repeatedly said on the way home that it's the best thing she's ever seen. When she woke up this morning she asked if we could go again tonight!"

"It's enough to tickle almost anyone's inner child." The Times on Angelina's Star Performance

Helen Craig and Katharine Holabird, the creators of the Angelina Ballerina character and books, said: "We attended Angelina's Star Performance several times, and thought it was absolutely beautiful and wonderfully funny. This sparkling and original ballet is a magical theatrical experience for young and old alike."

With a cast of English National Ballet's dancers, Angelina's Star Performance offers a unique introduction for boys and girls aged 3+ years to experience their first live ballet.

Angelina's Star Performance is based upon author Katherine Holabird's and Illustrator Helen Craig's successful and timeless book Angelina at the Palace which follows Angelina as she prepares to stage her own performance of The Sleeping Beauty, at the request of the Queen in her splendid palace. She even has a real life Princess, Princess Valentine, to star alongside her in the show. It's Angelina's biggest challenge yet… will she manage to pull it off?

Angelina's Star Performance is choreographed by Antony Dowson, with costumes, based on the original Angelina Ballerina drawings, by Wizzy Shawyer and set designs from Al Riches.

Angelina's Star Performance runs for 1 hour and 20 minutes including a 20 minute interval. Ticket prices are from 9.50 - 20. -- www.ballet.org.uk
