If you want something completely different to the usual fare offered by theatres over Christmas then the Fairfield, Croydon, could be the place for you.
Not only do they have a big traditional pantomime, but are staging the dance spectacular, Stomp.
Over the past few years alternative dance shows have become increasingly popular. There has been the Tap Dogs phenomenon, from South Africa came Gum Boots, now Stomp makes its second visit to the Croydon venue.
Stomp's success at the Fairfield last Christmas guaranteed the return of one of the most dazzling and startlingly original dance shows on the circuit.
It's a dizzying combination of theatre, dance, and music, a multi award winning production which has astounded audiences around the world.
Stomp finds beauty and music in the mundane, turning rubbish into rhythm and detritus into dance.
Dustbins
Broomsticks, washtubs, dustbins and everyday junk are all brought to life through astonishing feats of artistry and dexterity.
And if that does not tickle your fancy, then you could always go and see Cinderella with Mr Blobby and Darren Day.
Both are on at the Fairfield, Croydon and for details of times and prices see the listings.
