Students at Frome College will perform their new production ‘Back to the 80s’ at Merlin Theatre this February.
The show follows the trials of Corey Senior as he navigates the challenges of secondary school, set to iconic 80s songs. Performances will take place from 3rd to 6th February at 7pm.
The production is a team effort, with students creating sets, props and costumes, acting in the show and playing in the band.
Frome College Drama Lead Kayleigh Plomer said, “We’ve got proms, elections, concerts and the normal teenage heartbreak. Students and staff have worked hard to really bring this story to life in an incredible and vibrant way. It is everything a team effort should be across staff and students and will be a genuine pleasure to watch.”
Organisers say, “From the era that brought the world the Rubik’s Cube, Max Headroom and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comes the ‘totally awesome’ musical Back to the 80s.
“It tells the story of the senior class of William Ocean High School, as remembered through the eyes of now 30-something Corey Palmer. 17-year-old Corey is madly in love with his next-door neighbour, Tiffany Houston, one of the coolest girls in the school, but she is too busy mooning over Michael Feldman, the hottest guy around.
“Throw in a Star Wars dream sequence, high-energy dance routines, the obligatory 80s party scene, copious amounts of blue eyeshadow, twenty cans of hairspray, as well as some of the most popular songs ever written and the result is a musical that will have you dancing on the ceiling.”
