A brand-new musical is on at The Alexandra Theatre, how lucky are we? And what are the chances that it’s I Should Be So Lucky!
The Wedding’s OFF, But The Honeymoon Is ON! The story follows the heart-warming and rib-tickling tale of Ella and Nathan – a star-crossed couple with wedding jitters and tropical dreams. Will their love sail smoothly, or are stormy break-ups ahead? Only time and tunes will tell.
This is a light-hearted musical that celebrates the Stock Aitken Waterman hits. It features the soundtrack of a generation with music from pop royalty including Kylie Minogue (I Should Be So Lucky), Rick Astley (Never Gonna Give You Up), Jason Donovan (Too Many Broken Hearts), Bananarama (Love In The First Degree) and more, all intertwined in an original story of love, laughter and last-minute getaways!
It’s cheeky whimsical and flirtatious musical. As a jukebox musical, it was really well delivered, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The pop culture references were fantastic. At times is a little crazy and nonsensical, but that’s the joy of a musical it transports to you to another place.
Directed by stage and screen legend Debbie Isitt (the mind behind the hit NATIVITY! franchise) and choreographed by Jason Gilkison (creative director for STRICTLY COME DANCING), get ready to hear Stock Aitken Waterman’s beloved chart-toppers like never before in the brand-new musical sensation of the year.
The cast was absolutely fabulous and really brought the stage to life. There were some standout performances for me, Giovanni Spano, as Ash played the comedic best friend perfectly, Jamie Chapman as Spencer was hilarious capturing both attentive and overworked all at once. And of course, appearances from the one and only Kylie that graced the screen were fabulous! She really is a pop princess.
This was the perfect way to spend a night out. This is a fun show that fills you with sparkle and sunshine. It's just hit after hit after hit, and it's a perfect jukebox musical full of classics from pop royalty.
I Should Be So Lucky continues at the Alexandra Theatre Birmingham until Saturday 6th April 2024. Tickets are available at the following link https://www.atgtickets.com/shows/i-should-be-so-lucky/the-alexandra-theatre-birmingham/
