Editing The Red Shoes (1948 film) (section)

==Works inspired by the film==
The 1952 film ''[[The Firebird (1952 film)|The Firebird]]'', directed by [[Hasse Ekman]], is largely an homage to ''The Red Shoes''.

In the 1975 Broadway musical ''[[A Chorus Line]]'' and its [[A Chorus Line (film)|1985 film adaptation]], several of the characters speak of ''The Red Shoes'' inspiring their decision to become dancers.

[[Kate Bush]]'s 1993 song and album, ''[[The Red Shoes (album)|The Red Shoes]],'' was inspired by the film. The music was subsequently used in ''[[The Line, the Cross and the Curve]]'' (1993) a film referencing ''The Red Shoes'' written and directed by Bush. It stars [[Miranda Richardson]] and [[Lindsay Kemp]].

The film was adapted by [[Jule Styne]] (music) and [[Marsha Norman]] (book and lyrics) into a [[Broadway theatre|Broadway]] [[musical theatre|musical]], which was directed by [[Stanley Donen]]. [[The Red Shoes (musical)|''The Red Shoes'']] opened on 16 December 1993 at the [[Gershwin Theatre]], with [[Steve Barton]] playing Boris Lermontov, [[Margaret Illmann]] playing Victoria Page, and [[Hugh Panaro]] playing Julian Craster. The choreography by [[Lar Lubovitch]] received the [[Theatre Development Fund|TDF]]'s Astaire Award, but the musical closed after 51 previews and only five performances.

In 1996, St Martin's Press published ''The Red Shoes'', a novel "...as memorable and enduring as the great film on which it is based"<ref>https://www.amazon.com/Red-Shoes-Michael-Powell/dp/0312140347, backcover</ref> written by [[Michael Powell]] and [[Emeric Pressburger]]. 

In 2005, [[Ballet Ireland]] produced ''Diaghilev and the Red Shoes'', a tribute to [[Sergei Diaghilev]], the ballet impresario who founded [[Ballets Russes]]. consisting of excerpts from works made famous by that seminal company. An excerpt from ''The Red Shoes'' ballet was included, since Diaghilev was one inspiration for the character of Lermontov.<ref>{{cite web |last=Berry |first=Kevin |title=Diaghilev and the Red Shoes |work=The Stage |date=4 November 2005 |url= https://www.thestage.co.uk/reviews/diaghilev-and-the-red-shoes-review-at-wakefield-theatre-royal}}</ref>

In 2013, Korean singer-songwriter [[IU (singer)|IU]] released the album [[Modern Times (IU album)|Modern Times]], which featured the lead single "The Red Shoes", whose lyrics were inspired by the fairy tale, and whose music video was adapted from the film.

The film was [[The Red Shoes (ballet)|adapted as a ballet]] choreographed by [[Matthew Bourne]] and premiered in December 2016 in London. The production used music adapted from film scores  by [[Bernard Herrmann]], including themes from ''[[The Ghost and Mrs. Muir]]'' (1947) and  [[Vertigo (film)|''Vertigo'' (1958)]], in place of Brian Easdale's Oscar-winning score from the 1948 film.

In 2022, the award-winning short film ''Òran na h-Eala'' vividly explored Moira Shearer's heart and mind just before and after she agreed to star in ''The Red Shoes'', a decision that would change her life forever. The film unfolds as a string of dreamlike sequences while Moira sits at a dressing room mirror, reflecting on her career choices.
