A
GREAT FAMILY SHOW FOR ALL THOSE
ROCK AND ROLL REBELS!
Set
in 1961, The Young Ones is the story of a group of teenagers fighting
to save their local youth club from imminent demolition at the hands
of property tycoon, Hamilton Black. They decide to raise money and awareness
of their plight by putting on a variety show, promising that a mystery
singer will top the bill. But who is this heart-throb hipster who will
whip the local teenagers into a frenzy and help raise enough cash to
save the day? What is his connection to the property tycoon? All will
be revealed with much song and dance.
The
Young Ones was originally written as a screen vehicle for Cliff Richard,
at the time, Britain's answer to Elvis. This new adaptation for the
stage is packed with top ten hits including Livin' Doll, We Say Yeah
and, of course, The Young Ones. It is also evocative of the early 60's,
the era that witnessed the emergence of 'The Teenager', the bête
noir of parents and the authorities alike. For those who remember the
movie the first time around, re-live your youth - for those too young,
come and see what your parents held hands to in the back row of the
Odeon!!
