Casting announced for Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake at Sadler's Well

* * * The Swan will be portrayed by three dancers, including the Royal Ballet’s new Principal Dancer, **Matthew Ball**, New Adventures star **Will Bozier** (Harry the Pilot in Matthew Bourne’s *Cinderella*) and former English National Ballet star **Max Westwell** (*An American in Paris*). Ball will join New Adventures for the entire season at **[Sadler's Wells](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/venue/72/sadlers-wells.aspx)**, performing as The Swan for four performances per week during the show’s eight-week run. Bozier and Westwell will be making their debuts as The Swan, performing all throughout the UK and International tour. The Prince will be portrayed by **Dominic North** (*Edward Scissorhands, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, The Red Shoes*) and **Liam Mower** (The Angel in *Cinderella*), both of whom reprise their roles from previous runs. 19-year-old newcomer **James Lovell** will also be portraying The Prince in his professional stage debut. Matthew Bourne’s ***[Swan Lake](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/ballet/743/matthew-bournes-swan-lake-tickets.aspx)* **is back with a vengeance! Perhaps best known for having broken the formula by featuring an all-male ensemble while still retaining most of Tchaikovsky’s unmistakable iconography and score, ***[Swan Lake](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/ballet/743/matthew-bournes-swan-lake-tickets.aspx)* **has already garnered over 30 international awards, among which include **three Tony Awards in** **1999** for Best Choreography, Best Costume Design, and Best Director of a Musical and a **1996 Olivier Award** for Best New Dance Production. Many have praised the swan’s reinterpretation as a fierce male ‘bird of prey’ as opposed to a gentle female bird of elegance and grace, and comparisons have been drawn between Tchaikovsky’s own homosexuality and the suggestion that The Prince is, in fact, a homosexual man struggling to hide his sexuality. Whatever your interpretation may be, however, the return of this contemporary vision of Tchaikovsky’s masterpiece is one you don’t want to miss! * * * Matthew Bourne’s ***[Swan Lake](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/ballet/743/matthew-bournes-swan-lake-tickets.aspx)* **is booking now at **[Sadler's Wells](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/venue/72/sadlers-wells.aspx) from 4 December 2018 to 27 January 2019**.
