THEATRE PREVIEW: Three Musketeers at Sheffield Lyceum

Alexandre Dumas’ The Three Musketeers will be performed by Northern Ballet at the Lyceum Theatre, from this evening.

The famous 17th century trio — d’Artagnan, Athos and Aramis will embark on an action-packed quest to save the Queen’s reputation and the life of d’Artagnan’s love.

Their whirlwind adventure will be related through dance, set to a sweeping score by Sir Malcolm Arnold.

The production was nominated for Best New Dance Production at the 2008 Olivier Awards, having scooped the Best Dance prize at the MEN Theatre Awards 2007.

The show runs until Saturday, October 27 — including daytime performances and an audio described version on Saturday afternoon.
