Get ready to relive the soundtrack of your youth!
Award-winning comedy actress and EastEnders star Nina Wadia makes her musical theatre debut, joined on stage by special guest and 80s pop icon, Sonia – performing her smash hit, Better The Devil You Know!
Celebrating 40 years of the iconic and chart-topping compilations from NOW That’s What I Call Music, this fun-filled evening is bursting with 1980’s hits from Whitney Houston, Wham!, Blondie, and more.
Written by award-winning comedian Pippa Evans, and directed and choreographed by Strictly Come Dancing legend Craig Revel Horwood, this heart-warming and funny story takes us on an uplifting journey down memory lane.
It’s Birmingham, 1989. Two school friends, Gemma and April, are busy with very important business – planning their lives based on Number One Magazine quizzes and dreaming of snogging Rick Astley. Cut to Birmingham 2009 and it’s the most dreaded event of their lives– the school reunion. Drama, old flames and receding hairlines come together as friends reunite and everything from the past starts to slot into place. The biggest question is: what was with all that hairspray?
So dust off your spandex, get your crimper out and press play and record at the same time. An unbeatable soundtrack, show-stopping choreography and an original story.
NOW is produced by ROYO, Universal Music UK, SONY Music Entertainment and Mighty Village, and celebrates 40 years of NOW That’s What I Call Music.
