BACK TO THE EIGHTIES SHOW

The Back To The Eighties Show was a jukebox-style musical co-written by myself and performer Rob Bishop.

The concept behind the show was to craft a one-of-a-kind experience showcasing some of the most prominent and beloved songs from the vibrant era of the 1980s. With a mix of audience participation and cleverly sprinkled 80’s references and trivia, the show captivated audiences and garnered praise as it travelled across the UK.

Reflecting on the production, I take immense pride in the culmination of hard work and dedication that brought this show to life.

For those who didn't have the opportunity to witness it in person, here are some further insights into its allure.

He often appears as a principal cast member for Class Act Productions UK and has regularly taken starring roles in productions by the Louth Playgoers Society and Blaze Youth Music Theatre. His vocal range has been dropping jaws for over a decade, with a unique voice capable of reaching the highs of the Bee Gees, the gravelly lows of Elvis, and everything in between.

Her enthusiasm for her music is infectious, and she delights audiences with her versatile, energetic and soulful vocals.
