SUMMARY:Matilda The Musical
DESCRIPTION:The multi-award-winning musical (it has won more than 99 international awards) inspired by the Roald Dahl book touches down in Dubai for an eight-day run that has to be one of the highlights of the season. As the New York Post put it\, “Once in a blue moon\, a show comes out blazing and restores your faith in broadway. Matilda the Musical is that show”. \nThe script by Tony Award-winning playwright Dennis Kelly is excellent\, sticking close enough to the original but making the most of the live-action theatricality of the stage; Tim Minchin’s original songs are terrific\, mixing wit with sing-along choruses. And it’s a Royal Shakespeare Company production\, which is itself an assurance of quality and professionalism. The premium ticket price should be worth it … \nMatilda The Musical is directed by Matthew Warchus. Sets and costumes are by Rob Howell\, with choreography by Peter Darling. All three are also Tony winners\, along with the lighting director Hugh Vanstone. Matilda the Musical plays daily at 8pm between 10 and 15 October; there are also 2pm matinées on 14 and 15 October.

SUMMARY:Dana Gingras and Animals of Distinction: FRONTERA
DESCRIPTION:A visually stunning spectacle of propulsive dance\, dazzling lighting\, and powerful live music from the Canadian experimental post rock band Fly Pan Am. Choreographer Dana Gingras and her Montreal-based dance company Animals of Distinction explore spaces of inclusion and exclusion\, tackling borders as boundaries between the public and private realms; “borders are boundaries\, but they’re also processes\, liminal spaces where despair\, desire and neoliberal economic imperatives meet the obscure(d) operations of power”.  Another example of The Arts Center’s useful partnership with Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels. \nThere’s a second performance on 13 October.

SUMMARY:Natalia Osipova: Force of Nature
DESCRIPTION:Called by The Independent “the most sought-after ballerina in the world”\, Natalia Osipova’s Abu Dhabi Classics show promises a programme of favourite classics and contemporary masterpieces. Her new dance company\, Blooms Dance Project\, which has been running now for a year\, has a twofold goal: to preserve her iconic roles and to create new works through worldwide touring. In practice this means lots of Giselle et al\, and the Dying Swan to finish the evening\, with a company that includes principal dancers from some of the big-name ballet troupes. Earlier this year Osipova performed Force of Nature in New York to generally rapturous reviews\, though one or two suggested the new pieces were a tad disappointing – but then it’s the classics where she made her name\, and it’s the classics that we want to see. \nThe prices are pretty good – the best seats are AED 250\, but you can still get a balcony spot for AED 75 – but this is sure to sell out so get in quickly …
