About This Event
The Car Man is a dance work by Matthew Bourne based on Bizet’s opera. It takes place at Sadlers Wells Theatre in London on 25 August 2026. Tickets are priced from £18.00.
About The Car Man
The Car Man at Sadler’s Wells Theatre is Matthew Bourne’s award-winning dance work, loosely based on Bizet’s opera. It features one of the most recognisable scores in New Adventures’ repertoire and places a small-town story in a 1950s garage-diner in the American Mid-West.
When a handsome and enigmatic stranger arrives, the community is drawn into a story of greed, lust, betrayal and revenge. Matthew Bourne’s storytelling is paired with music by Terry Davies, featuring Rodion Shchedrin’s Carmen Suite after Bizet’s Carmen.
The production is described as a dance thriller, with a focus on heat, desire and escalating tension.
Duration: 1 hour 55 minutes, including one 20 minute interval.
