British Youth Music Theatre: Worn Out

British Youth Music Theatre and Lowry present an empowering new musical retelling of The 12 Dancing Princesses.

In the city-state of Zloriv, King Kasimir's daughters are trapped—expected to smile, obey, and marry. But when they slip away each night, their worn-out shoes hide more than just a love for dancing. As they uncover a rising revolution that could shatter their father's rule, will they follow tradition or fight for freedom?

Featuring a playful score that mixes classic and contemporary Broadway with a pop twist by Meg McGrady and an exhilarating book by Zoe Morris, Worn Out transforms the classic Grimm Tale of The 12 Dancing Princesses into a thrilling musical, where fairy-tale fantasy meets the fire of female rebellion.
