Annabel Croft is stepping back into the spotlight, but this time, it’s not on centre court or a glittering dancefloor.
The much-loved former tennis star and celebrated broadcaster is heading out on her very first UK theatre tour, inviting audiences to join her on an intimate, 28-date journey through her remarkable life and career.
Kicking off on 25 September 2025, the tour will take Annabel across England, Scotland and Wales, sharing stories that span from Wimbledon glory to backstage Strictly sparkle.
Highland audiences will get their chance to see her live when Annabel Croft: From Tennis Balls to Glitter Balls comes to Eden Court on Wednesday 22 October.
In 1984, she captured hearts when she won the Wimbledon and Australian Girls’ titles, going on to become British No. 1 and representing Great Britain in the Fed Cup.
But her journey didn’t end when she hung up her racquet.
Annabel made a seamless transition into broadcasting, quickly becoming one of the most trusted voices in tennis coverage.
She has worked with Amazon Prime, BBC, ESPN USA, Eurosport and Sky Sports, offering insight, warmth and depth to millions of viewers.
Most recently, she became a fan favourite on Strictly Come Dancing, dancing her way into the final four alongside professional partner Johannes Radebe.
Now, for the first time, Annabel is taking to the stage to tell her story in her own words.
She’ll be lifting the curtain on life at the top of the sporting world, sharing what it’s like to stand across the net from tennis legends and then later, sit down to interview them.
Expect tales of Roger Federer, Andy Murray, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic, but also moments of laughter, reflection and joy from a life well lived.
“I am excited to go on this tour to share my experiences from the world of Tennis Broadcasting and Dancing on Strictly, from tennis balls to glitter balls!” said Annabel.
Whether you’re a lifelong tennis fan, a Strictly devotee, or just love a good story well told, this tour promises something special.
Warm, uplifting and full of heart, it’s a chance to spend an evening with one of Britain’s most cherished voices in sport and entertainment.
Tickets are available locally now and expected to sell quickly.
