Described as a “tribute to the composers, songwriters and record producers whose artistry behind the scenes has transcended generations”, Let’s Face The Music… and Dance! will pay homage to legendary names such as George Gershwin, Irving Berlin, Quincy Jones, David Foster, and Hans Zimmer. Expect sweeping scores, cinematic moments, and the infectious chemistry that made Aljaž and Janette household favourites.
Joining them on stage will be Tom Seals and his Big Band, who return after their acclaimed collaboration on the couple’s 2025 tour. The show promises to combine the elegance of ballroom and Latin dance with the energy of live performance, creating a concert-dance experience that celebrates both artistry and showmanship.
Janette Manrara said: “Let’s Face The Music…and Dance!is a love letter to all the behind-the-scenes songwriters, film composers and record producers, whose timeless melodies and unforgettable lyrics provide never-ending inspiration for dancers across the world. From David Foster, Quincy Jones, George Gershwin, Burt Bacharach, Irving Berlin, Hans Zimmer and so many more, Aljaž and I can’t wait to celebrate their creative genius in what we truly believe will be our best show yet.”
With Aljaž adding: “Working with Tom Seals and his fantastic musicians last year was both a joy and a privilege. You simply can’t beat dancing to incredible live music. In fact, Tom’s impact on last year’s tour played a huge role in inspiring Let’s Face The Music…and Dance! It was such a pleasure, and we are very much looking to sharing our brand new show with everybody. So let’s celebrate this music and dance!”
With their signature charm, world-class talent, and a live band ready to bring classic melodies to life, Let’s Face The Music… and Dance! looks set to be one of 2026’s most anticipated live theatre events.
