Princes Theatre, Clacton - Summer 2019 Brochure

HIT STAGE SHOW 80’s MANIA
STANDS HEAD AND SHOULDER PADS ABOVE THE REST
Endorsed by Radio 1 breakfast DJ during the Eighties, Mike
Read, as being “like Live Aid meets Top of the Pops”
– 80’S Mania is sweeping into town.
From West End producer, director, performer and
choreographer Vikki Holland-Bowyer, the hit-packed production
features back-combed hair, shimmying shoulder pads, wet-look
neon leggings, the lairiest of leotards, indiscriminate double
denim and 24-7 sunglasses – and that’s just a description
of the audience of Europe’s official Eighties Reunion concert
show. . .
Live on stage, 80’s Mania authentically revives the music of
25 chart-topping pop stars including: Duran Duran, Human
League, Culture Club, Wham!, Madness, Madonna, Spandau
Ballet, Cyndi Lauper, Adam Ant, Bananarama, Erasure, Nena,
Soft Cell, Toni Basil, Dead or Alive, Kim Wilde and more.
The fast-moving production features 150 costume changes,
custom-produced dual-screen video projection, more than
35 smash hits, the celebrated New Romantic Band and the
energetic 80’s Mania Dancers.
Songs featured include number one hits Don’t You Want Me
Baby, Call Me, Relax, Tainted Love, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun,
Karma Chameleon, Holiday, Kids in America, Stand and Deliver,
Venus, Respect, I Think We’re Alone Now, Baggy Trousers, Rio,
Electric Dreams, Mad World, Hey Mickey and Turning Japanese.
“It’s totally unique,” says Vikki. “Audiences take the time
to prepare and dress as their favourite pop stars, re-living
the childhood memories that the 80’s helped make so
unforgettable.
