80s Live | Adelphi Theatre

Travel back in time to one of the most iconic eras in music history! Songs for everyone, which we all instinctively know the lyrics to, ‘80s Live’ produced by The Entertainers is a riotously fun evening! ‘80s Live’ exuberates energy and radiates good vibes. Audience members are encouraged to stand up, dance around and sing along to a multitude of 80s classics- ‘Baggy Trousers’, ‘You Spin Me Round’, ‘Mickey’, ‘Kids in America’ and ‘Everybody Wants to Rule the World’ to scratch the surface of the setlist. If you don’t want to get up and involved? Not a problem. You can absorb the pure joy in the room and revel in the immaculate atmosphere from the comfort of your seat!


Despite being a 00s baby myself, I’m proud to admit that I knew approximately 90% of the songs. With a deep rooted nostalgia growing up surrounded with these songs and being transported back to my parents’ garden parties, I was living my best life that night! Performers (Sid Sims, Bryan Humphrey, Wayne Smith, Karin Latham, Rachel Johnson) embraced the personalities of the classic 80s artists by adjusting their presented persona for each song. Either by distinct facial expressions or a quick costume change. Not your standard karaoke concert, the performance was brilliantly balanced authenticity and creativity.

Dexys Midnight Runners’ ‘Come On Eileen’ converted the theatre into a club! With even the reluctant dancers getting on their feet for a boogie and to belt out the lyrics, this song was my favourite of the night. Bopping along whether on your feet or in your seat is irresistible. If you love the 80's and associate it with happy memories, you’re bound to have the most joyous time!


The Entertainers take their production of 80s live to an array of venues around the UK. For more tickets and information, you can follow the link here.
