Better known for their 80s “electro-pop”, the Pet Shop Boys have branched out to help create a new ballet at Saddlers Wells Theatre.
The ballet is called “The Most Incredible Thing” and is based on the fairytale by Hans Christian Anderson of the same name. Helping the boys out was renowned director and choreographer Javier De Frutos, along with the tuneful Wroclaw Score Orchestra.
This might be significantly different to the songs which made them famous such as West End Girls and Always on my Mind, but the boys added their own touches with the electro-symphonic score and multimedia projections to ensure this is not Swan Lake.
If you want to see the work you’ll need to hurry as it’s only on from the 17th to 26th March 2011.
For an insight into what the ballet might look like, here’s a small video produced by Saddlers Wells Theatre.
Tickets are available from Saddlers Wells boxoffice or buy the soundtrack from the ballet from Amazon – The Most Incredible Thing – Double CD
