New Adventures has announced that Matthew Bourne’s The Car Man is now available on DVD, with a Blu-Ray release set for Monday 11 December 2017, produced by Illuminations. The company is also thrilled to announce that Matthew Bourne’s Cinderella, filmed live at Sadler’s Wells, will be broadcast on the BBC over the Christmas period ahead of a worldwide cinema release from February 2018.

Matthew Bourne said today, “The release of The Car Man for home entertainment and the new recording of Cinderella for national and international broadcast is bringing the work of New Adventures to an even larger new audience who maybe do not have access to our live performances. It is part of a long held ambition to film all of our work for posterity but also as an inspirational educational tool for our work with young people.”

First seen in 2000, The Car Man has been a smash-hit in the UK and around the world and this recording for Sky Arts was made at Sadler’s Wells during the show’s most recent revival in 2015. The DVD and Blu Ray release includes an exclusive 17-minute behind the scenes featurette, “The Making of The Car Man”.

       

Loosely based on Bizet’s popular opera, “Carmen”, and notable for its frank depictions of violence and sex, it has one of the most thrilling and instantly recognisable scores in classical music, brilliantly arranged by Terry Davies to create a complete score.

Following the successful worldwide cinema releases of “Swan Lake 3D”, “Sleeping Beauty” and “The Car Man”, New Adventures is delighted to announce that Matthew Bourne’s “CINDERELLA” is being filmed in December. It will be broadcast on the BBC during the Christmas period and will be coming to cinemas around the world from February 2018, distributed by Event Cinema specialist More2Screen. For fans in the UK and Ireland the screening will be followed by an exclusive live Q&A with Matthew with more information to follow.
