The stage was set for red carpet glamour at Birmingham Hippodrome at a SimkissGuy Recruitment Leading Ladies’ reception inspired by Sir Matthew Bourne’s new staging of his ballet, The Red Shoes. Sponsored by Marketing Birmingham, the event included networking, celebration cake and brand new cocktail called To Dance? To Live! from Edgbaston Boutique hotel and cocktail lounge. The Red Shoes will be returning to the Hippodrome from 19 to 22 July.
