The Kinks-fronted musical 'Come Dancing' cancelled

'Come Dancing', the musical that was written and fronted by The Kinks' Ray Davies, has been cancelled.

The show, which had its first run in 2008 and closed this year, was set to be revived by director Bill Kenwright in 2010. Those plans have now been abandoned.

"Ray [Davies] is extremely disappointed that the 2010 'Come Dancing' tour will not be happening," a spokesperson for Davies' studio Konk explained. "[He] will be issuing a statement in due course."

At this moment no explanation has been given for the cancellation, but theatres are offering refunds to those who bought tickets.

Meanwhile, a film about The Kinks is set to be made by Sex Pistols director Julien Temple.
