Still Pointless BalletBoyz at 25 @ Sadlers Wells in Angel

Celebrating 25 years. This is the best of BalletBoyz. With their signature irreverence and discerning eye for beautiful dance, BalletBoyz return in 2026 with their brand-new production Still Pointless, marking the 25th Anniversary of the Companys critically acclaimed debut, Pointless (yes, its really been that long!). 10 world-class dancers will take audiences through a journey of some of BalletBoyz best moments. In a nod to the past, the shows opening section sees BalletBoyz founders Michael Nunn OBE and William Trevitt OBE returning to the stage to perform an excerpt from Russell Maliphants seminal work Critical Mass*, which was the catalyst for their first show, Pointless, at the Roundhouse in 2001. At once looking back to celebrate all the Company has achieved whilst looking to the future with enthusiasm and ambition, the show will also showcase the world-premiere of a brand-new commission by Seirian Griffiths With 25 years of commissioning, producing, and performing dance, BalletBoyz has consistently pushed the boundaries of how dance is presented by artists and enjoyed by audiences. Incorporating live dance and film, the evening will feature excerpts of work from the Companys history including choreographers Christopher Wheeldon, Ivn Perez, Maxine Doyle, Liam Scarlett, Xie Xin, and Javier de Frutos, and composers Cassie Kinoshi, Ben Foskett, Keaton Henson, and Max Richter.
