TWO BEST FRIENDS, ONE UNFORGETTABLE REUNION!
NOW A BRAND-NEW MUSICAL COMEDY

Get ready to relive the soundtrack of your youth at NOW THAT’S WHAT I CALL A MUSICAL!

Celebrating 40 years of the iconic and chart-topping compilation albums, this brand-new musical comedy has an unbeatable 80s soundtrack; written by award-winning author, writer and performer Pippa Evans and show-stopping direction and choreography by Strictly Come Dancing’s Craig Revel Horwood. This is an event you won’t want to miss.

This fun-filled evening is bursting with some of the greatest hits from the 80s: Gold, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, Tainted Love, Hey Mickey, Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves and many more!

Starring award-winning comedy actress and EastEnders star Nina Wadia with Sam Bailey (Winner of The X Factor 2013, Everybody's Talking About Jamie UK Tour, Chicago). They will be joined on stage by 80s pop icons: Sinitta, Sonia, T’Pau’s Carol Decker and Toyah Willcox!* Performing one of their smash hits, So Macho, Better The Devil You Know, China In Your Hand and I Want To Be Free!

It's Birmingham, 1989. Gemma and April, two school friends, are busy with very important business - planning their lives based on Number One Magazine quizzes and dreaming of snogging Rick Astley!

Fast forward to Birmingham 2009, and they're confronted with their worst nightmare: the school reunion!

As friends reunite, drama unfolds, and old flames reappear...

NOW is produced by ROYO, Universal Music UK, SONY Music Entertainment and Mighty Village, and celebrates 40 years of NOW That’s What I Call Music.

*Please note that only one guest star will play each venue. Please refer to the tour list and venue websites for further details.
