Win tickets to Matthew Bourne's The Car Man plus an overnight stay with Hilton

Fasten your seatbelts…

Matthew Bourne’s award-winning The Car Man is back! Loosely based on Bizet’s ever-popular opera, The Car Man has one of the most thrilling and instantly recognisable scores in New Adventures’ repertoire.

★★★★★ 'A thrilling and seriously sexy sensation' - Daily Express

The familiar 19th-century Spanish cigarette factory becomes a greasy 1950s garage-diner in the American Midwest, where the dreams and passions of a small town are shattered by the arrival of a handsome and enigmatic stranger. Fuelled by heat, the inhabitants are driven into an unstoppable spiral of greed, lust, betrayal and revenge.

Matthew Bourne’s vivid storytelling combines with one of the most passionately dramatic scores ever written, with music by Terry Davies featuring Rodion Shchedrin’s Carmen Suite (after Bizet’s Carmen), to create a dance thriller like no other. There’s no doubting that The Car Man will ignite your senses and leave you breathless.

One winner will receive two tickets plus an overnight stay and three-course evening meal at Hilton London Angel Islington. Set in the heart of Islington, the hotel is just a short walk from Sadler’s Wells Theatre and conveniently located for Angel station near trendy restaurants, bars and the Emirates Stadium.
