Slaughter on Tenth Avenue

Slaughter on Tenth Avenue is a crazy tale of a highkicking stripper and a happy-go-lucky hero who literally has to dance for his life. Created as part of the world-famous Rodgers and Hart musical comedy On Your Toes, which follows the adventures of a young American hoofer who joins a famous Russian ballet company, its humour and vitality provide sparkling entertainment.

'The lively tale of gangsters... was handled with relish by the Birmingham troupe'
