Dancing Shoes – The George Best Story
play by Marie Jones and Martin Lynch music & lyrics by JJ Gilmour and Pat Gribben
Direct from sell-out run at Belfast Grand Opera House
Co-written by Glasgow’s own JJ ‘Jinky’ Gilmour (ex The Silencers)
Dancing Shoes – The George Best Story, tells of the turbulent and amazing life of one of the greatest footballers the world has ever seen.
Combining the superb songwriting talents of Glasgow’s JJ Gilmour (The Silencers) and Belfast’s Pat Gribben (The Adventures) and two of Northern Ireland’s most popular playwrights Marie Jones (Stones in His Pockets) and Martin Lynch (Chronicles of Long Kesh) Dancing Shoes is packed with great characters, beautiful songs and trademark Belfast humour.
‘it was a standing ovation and had the audience singing along with the songs in the final reprise. A joyful night’
BBC Radio Ulster
'…as the show progresses, his singing, understated charm and vulnerability
bring gravity and consistency to a manically entertaining performance. The music and lyrics through-out are outstanding. One by one, the audience stands. The ovation lasts for minutes. The
woman beside me has mascara running down her face, the brute behind
screams, yahoos and wolf-whistles me towards tinnitus. All in all, not a
bad wee night out'
Vulgo 08/08/2011
'Overall this is a thoroughly enjoyable play…one that will stand the test of time.'
Belfast Telegraph 9th August
'The musical Dancing Shoes is a fitting tribute… With a fantastic score, the musical will strike a chord not only with his fans, but those who love theatre..'
Community telegraph Review 11th August
'Dancing Shoes encapsulates so much that is necessary for a good night of theatre – laughter, tears, great music, a singalong and a fantastic story well told.'

Absolutely loved this show. The highlight for me was “The Hurricane”. Both funny and sad to see the parallels between these two great showmen/sportmen. It was no refreshing to see an original show at the pavilion. More of the same please.
A Really Great Show,One Not To Miss,Watch Out For “Steve McQueen” And “The Hurricane”And George Best Was Brilliant As Was The Whole Cast,Thanks For A Great Night.
Saw this show in Belfast – brilliant. Laughed and cried all the way through – very emotional. Thinking about going to Glasgow to see it again. Would recommend it 100% If you are a George Best fan don’t miss it!
