Showgirls & Sharks: A madcap musical autobiography on the Torch Theatre stage this June! The true story of how a young girl ran away with the circus and became a Welsh Burlesque legend. 


Showgirls & Sharks follows fearless showgirl “FooFoo LaBelle” through an incredible musical re-telling of her life’s story. Accompanied by musical Maestro Jenna Dyckhoff, the all-singing, all-dancing duo expose the secrets of a globe-trotting showgirl.



This funny, touching and sometimes heart-breaking quest for stardom will take you on a journey of self-discovery which spans five decades and three continents. You’ll meet ballet dancers, circus elephants, performing sharks and pantomime cats in this unique evening of storytelling, song and cabaret. 

A real-life musical adventure uncovers a true story of surviving womanhood, show-business and all the world has to offer before finding the true joys of home. An unbelievable tale that will have you singing along, laughing out loud and wiping away tears as you discover that showgirls are like fine wine or smelly cheese: they only get better with age!

Showgirls & Sharks can be seen on the Torch Theatre stage on Friday 5 June 7.30pm. Price: £14. Book tickets via the website torchtheatre.co.uk / Box Office: 01646 695267 or click here.
