Dancing Shoes The George Best Story

Production Details

Dancing Shoes - The George Best Story, tells of the turbulent and colourful life of one of the greatest footballers the world has ever seen.
From his childhood days kicking a tennis ball against a gable wall on the Cregagh estate to a life of fame, fortune and controversy, this story has it all.
Combining the talents of two of Northern Ireland’s most popular playwrights with the superb song writing talents of Glasgow’s JJ Gilmour and Belfast’s Pat Gribben, Dancing Shoes is packed with great characters, beautiful songs and trademark Belfast humour.
