SHOWCASE 2025
SUNDAY 16TH MARCH
NEW WIMBLEDON THEATRE
9AM – 7PM (WITH PERFORMANCES AT 2.30PM AND 5.30PM)
It's time for West End Workout to raise the curtain and take to the stage! For the first time, we're giving our adult class members the experience of performing live on stage at the iconic New Wimbledon Theatre. This very special event is a celebration of everything WEW and a chance to give applause to the incredible humans who dance with us. Supported by family and friends, we'll showcase a selection of musical theatre routines from our repetoire of West End favourites. Our aim is to produce a joyful and uplifting show, bursting with community spirit and our relaxed, inclusive and encouraging ethos at it's heart.

SEATING PLAN
Stalls – Audience (720 capacity)
Dress Circle – Cast (473 capacity)
​
Our audience will watch the show from allocated seating in the stalls (ticketed). During the performance, all cast members will be based in the dress circle, with a rotation system bringing you down to the stage to perform and back up to the dress circle again. This means that rather than being stuck backstage, you can watch the show, whoop and cheer in support for each other and be part of the buzzing atmosphere from the auditorium.


TICKETS
When reserving seats for family and friends, cast members will receive a code to redeem the first 4 tickets without charge (included in your 'Show Fee'). Additional tickets will be available to purchase at this time.
