This vibrant show features classic hits like L-O-V-E, Blue Moon, Be My Baby, The Twist, and many more. Each number brings its own flavour of nostalgia, cheek, and charm, performed by a talented and spirited cast who bring these timeless tunes to life.

And just when you think you’ve heard it all, cue the leather jackets and hip-shaking rhythms that will have you All Shook Up and ready for more!

With slick harmonies, infectious energy, and just the right amount of retro sass, 50 Shades of Rock ‘N Roll is a jukebox journey that’s guaranteed to leave you smiling, singing, and dancing all the way home, with all fifty shades of feel-good.
