Hits from the Rolling Stones’ back catalogue will form the soundtrack to a new West End dance show, opening this summer on Shaftesbury Avenue.

Created by choreographer and dancer Peter Schaufuss, Satisfaction will feature songs such as Sympathy for the Devil, (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction and Ruby Tuesday. The show, which opens on August 28 for a limited season until September 8, is being billed as a ‘dancical’ and will also include designs by political cartoonist Gerald Scarfe.

Schaufuss commented: “Twenty-four of the Rolling Stones’ hits and the 25 dancers in Satisfaction together make for a vibrant and fascinating multimedia experience of dance, music and light which capture the audience.”

The production will have a short run in Denmark prior to transferring to London.
