It’s boyband vs girlband in this hilarious brand new musical from the team that brought you the global hit Back to the 80’s.

Packed with pop smash hits from the hyper-coloured 1990’s by artists such as THE SPICE GIRLS, BACKSTREET BOYS, N*SYNC, BRITNEY SPEARS, CHRISTINA AGUILERA, MC HAMMER and many more.
It’s set in a school in the 1990’s where Mark is head over heels in love with his girlfriend, Queen Bee, Shannon Van de Witt.

When Shannon learns that pop-band impresario Simon Austin is the surprise judge at the State Talent Show she dumps him for her chance at showbiz stardom.

Mark rapidly goes from High School hero to High School zero. His garage band buddies rally around him and soon a plan for revenge is hatched to change their grunge band to a boy-band and snatch the Talent Show title from Shannon’s Candy Girls.

There’s just one small problem… the boys can’t dance. Mark enlists the help of the ultra talented, new girl, Ella to help with their boy band make over and sparks soon fly.

Can Mark get the girl, get the Grand Prize and get even with the scheming Shannon closing in? It’s anyone’s guess as the countdown to the Grand Finale begins. It’s sure to be one to remember.

Friday 17 January 10.30am – Relaxed performance 
What to expect at the Sensory Friendly Performance:

At our sensory friendly performance, we encourage audience members to be completely themselves in order to feel comfortable – feel free to make sounds, move your body, fidget, stim and use noise-cancelling headphones.

We will not use bells in the foyer area to announce show time, but will instead have staff give verbal indication that it is time for patrons to find their seats in the auditorium. The Don Craig Room will be open as a dedicated quiet space for patrons and will have dim lighting to assist those needing a space away from the busy and noisy foyer.

During the performance, lighting will remain on in the auditorium at a dim level, and the volume of the show and sound effects will be lower as well to accommodate those with sensory sensitivities.

We will have a pre-show welcome where the main characters will come out on stage and introduce themselves and will explain some of the effects of the show (e.g. smoke, sound effects), particularly highlighting scenes that may have higher sensory impact.

We hope that the inclusion of a sensory friendly performance means that more people can comfortably access the theatre and see this wonderful show.

We look forward to welcoming you.
