Anton and Erin on tour

Posted on July 5, 2011

Let’s Do It, the new show from “Strictly Come Dancing” stars Anton Du Beke and Erin Boag, will tour the UK in 2012.

Professional partners for over 14 years, Anton and Erin have already made three sold-out tours of the UK. “Erin and I love the connection we make with a live audience,” Anton Du Beke said. “We are delighted that as well as making a welcome return to many venues around the country, we look forward to performing at several new locations for the first time.”

For this latest production, they will be joined by singer Lance Ellington, guest dancers and a live orchestra conducted by Richard Balcombe. The programme will include music by George Gershwin, Kander and Ebb, Irving Berlin and Cole Porter, with such classic hits as An American In Paris, “Fascinating Rhythm”, “It Don’t Mean A Thing (If It Ain’t Got That Swing)”, “Catavina”, the Blue Danube waltz and “Don’t Rain On My Parade”.
