Here Come The Boys, London Palladium

The tremendous success of the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing has turned its professional dancers into superstars, none more so, perhaps, than the men, with their snake hips, flash moves, knowing smiles and overall hyper-macho demeanour.

Now London gets a chance to catch up with Here Come The Boys, a high-octane dance show centred on four of the Strictly professional men, plus one illustrious guest, which has already toured the country to great acclaim and is on its way to the London Palladium this spring.

Backed by an ensemble of professional dancers, Aljaž Škorjanec, Pasha Kovalev, Robin Windsor and Graziano di Prima are joined by Strictly celebrity finalist Karim Zeroual, who will also host the show, in a fierce and highly entertaining dance contest ranging through ballroom, Latin, commercial and contemporary styles. The audience will play a key role, because they will decide who will become King of Dance.

And to spice things up even more, the boys will be joined by a special guest star, Strictly’s Nadiya Bychkova. There will, of course, be a backing ensemble of international dancers.

All this to a familiar soundtrack of dance-floor anthems, club classics – and what the publicity material describes as guilty pleasures…


To keep a long-running show fresh, cast revelations, additions and substitutions are promised.

It promises to be the hottest ticket, the wildest party in the West End... and with a reduced ticket allocation because of Covid-19 Secure guidelines, you're advised to book early.
