The couple, who have been married since 2017, are celebrating the magic of movies on stage with blockbuster soundtracks and spectacular choreography, from Disney movies to vintage classics.

Performing to a mix of contemporary hits from the likes of Adele, Lady Gaga and Eminem as well as some of the most famous numbers in film from Barbra Streisand and Celine Dion, the couple are taking audiences through the history of Hollywood. They will also be showcasing legendary songwriters such as Burt Bacharach and John Barry.

Aljaž and Janette will be joined by a talented cast of dancers and musicians to perform against a stunning backdrop. The dazzling stage production includes a large LED screen, bringing the wow-factor of the silver screen to the stage.

Slovenian-born Aljaž and his wife Janette, from Miami, joined the primetime dance competition as professionals in 2013. Aljaž, who won the glitterball with his first partner Abbey Clancy, shocked fans as he announced he is leaving the ballroom show after nine years earlier this week. Janette, however, left Strictly last year to present its sister show, It Takes Two.
