LOLA: A Flamenco Love Story
Pleasance at EICC - Lennox Theatre
30 Jul 2025 - 24 Aug 2025
7:30pm (1h15m)
A vibrant new dance musical fusing passionate contemporary flamenco with the rousing rhythms of Latin pop and jazz.
After the death of her husband, Lola flees the poverty of 1960s Spain to find work in London and support the young children she’s left behind.
The work is hard, the weather is miserable and she doesn’t understand the language. She misses her home. She misses her children. But a chance encounter brings Lola fresh hope.
A story of resilience, love and hope told through the exhilarating power of flamenco.
LOLA is passion, poetry, despair, reconciliation, love.
'The elegant, defiant flamenco footwork is astonishing. A joyous story of resilience and romance.'
★★★★ Fest Mag
'Ultimately the passion of the music, the powerful singing, and above all, the electrifying flamenco dancing that tell this heartfelt story. Judging by the standing ovation on the night, the audience was every bit as captivated as I was.'
