BTG has put on "Stepping Out" before - in 1999. It is a fun show and we thought it a fitting way to celebrate our return to the Beacon Theatre following the repairs and refurbishment of the auditorium. Dust off the tap shoes and join Mavis and an unlikely group of adult tappers as acclaimed British playwright Richard Harris takes us on an evening of laughter, love and passion at a North London adult tap class. Mavis, a former professional dancer, teaches the bumbling tappers but before the dancing she must mediate the dramas that erupt among this motley but loveable crew. When adversity, diversity, opportunity and ordinary come together, what is the result? A couple of time steps later and love and friendship are what really trumps this mix. Come and watch this heart-warming show that will have you tapping your way out of the theatre.
