From the era that brought the world the Rubik’s Cube, Max Headroom, and The Goonies comes the “totally awesome” musical Back to the 80’s. In the style of movies such as Back to the Future, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and The Karate Kid, Back to the 80’s is a nostalgic romp through the greatest songs of the greatest decade.
Back to the 80’s tells the story of the senior class of William Ocean High School, as remembered through the eyes of now thirty-something Corey Palmer. Seventeen-year-old Corey is madly in love with his next-door neighbor, Tiffany Houston, one of the coolest girls in the school, but she is too busy swooning over Michael Feldman, the hottest guy around. Michael and his friends are athletic and good looking — the kind of guys that Corey and his two best friends dream of being. However, while they may not be the coolest guys in school, they are still one up on Feargal McFerrin, III, whose best friend is his computer and who believes the crazy notion that one day, CDs will replace cassette tapes. (Shhh… spoilers!)
Showcasing our incredible pit band and over a dozen Avenger Theater soloists singing 24 of the most popular songs ever written, Back to the 80’s includes hits from Wham!, Cyndi Lauper, Starship, The Proclaimers, Bon Jovi, The B52’s, Madonna, Katrina and the Waves, Billy Ocean, Sheena Easton and more. This show will delight and amuse audiences of all ages by mixing together an epic concert and a high-energy musical with contemporary flair that will have you dancing in your seats – if you can get a ticket!
