Matthew Bourne’s The Car Man – Live at the LyceumWhat is Matthew Bourne’s The Car Man?
Matthew Bourne’s The Car Man is an electrifying, award-winning dance thriller from Matthew Bourne and New Adventures, returning to the Lyceum Theatre in Sheffield.
Loosely inspired by Bizet’s opera Carmen, this bold reimagining transforms the familiar 19th-century Spanish setting into a greasy 1950s garage-diner in the American Midwest — where desire simmers, tensions explode and nothing is quite as it seems.
What’s the story?
A small-town community is thrown into turmoil by the arrival of a handsome, mysterious stranger. As passions ignite and rivalries intensify, the characters are pulled into an unstoppable spiral of lust, greed, betrayal and revenge.
It’s a dark, cinematic narrative told entirely through movement — fast, physical and emotionally charged.
What makes this production so powerful?
Matthew Bourne’s signature storytelling blends with one of the most dramatic scores ever written. The music features Rodion Shchedrin’s Carmen Suite (after Bizet), arranged by Terry Davies, creating a soundtrack that drives the action with relentless intensity.
Expect:
Visceral, athletic choreography
Noir-style atmosphere
High drama and raw physicality
A dance experience that feels more like a thriller film on stage
Why is this a must-see?
Described by critics as “gripping, gasp-making, edge-of-your-seat stuff” and “a thrilling and seriously sexy sensation”, The Car Man is widely regarded as one of Matthew Bourne’s most daring and accomplished works.
It’s bold, provocative and unforgettable — a production that leaves audiences breathless.
Who is this event for?
This show will appeal to:
Dance and physical theatre fans
Audiences who enjoy dark, cinematic storytelling
Fans of Matthew Bourne’s work
Anyone looking for powerful, grown-up things to do in Sheffield
(Suitable for ages 12+)

Park Hill Tour - Walk the Streets in the SkyThis event began 04/04/26 and repeats every week on Saturday until 29/08/26
Park Hill has been a visible landmark on the Sheffield skyline for over 60 years. It is considered of international importance due to being the first built example of external access decks (known as Streets in the Sky) and was awarded Grade II* listing in 1998. There followed a regeneration scheme, the first phase being shortlisted for the Stirling prize for architecture in 2013, which continues today. It is also culturally prominent, having featured in film, tv, music, artworks and on stage.
Join a resident-led 90 minute tour to walk the Streets in the Sky. Your guide will take you through the history of Park Hill, exploring the inspirations behind its design as well as its architectural concepts and distinctive details. Along the way, you’ll hear about the people who played a part in its story and gain insight into what life here is like today. There will also be an opportunity to see inside a renovated flat. A spring or summer visit is the perfect time to see our gardens in bloom and to take in the spectacular views over the city and into the countryside beyond.
