Every Child's Dream Can Come True. Strange beginnings and quirky characters form the background to this production of the celebrated children's classic, Ballet Shoes - a fanciful tale that has introduced generations of children to the possibilities of fame and fortune. Adopted as babies by their extraordinary Great Uncle Matthew, Pauline, Petrova and Posy Fossil lead a sheltered life with their guardian, Sylvia, who is struggling to make ends meet. When the girls are accepted to ballet school, life becomes a whirl of classes and rehearsals, until yet another financial crisis threatens their future. The determined and oddly assorted 'g-british, g-family' discover that their special talents and ambitions cannot only make money, but can also help them to accomplish their vow - 'to put their names in the history books.'
