I promised a write up sorry its long. It was a combined effort between my daughter and myself.
A word of warning for anyone who is going. Check the time the show is due to start. Our tickets said show started at 17.30 but in reality it started about 17.00. Fortunately we arrived early otherwise we would have missed quite a bit of the show. .
The character that Scott plays is completely different to what you would imagine
Scott plays the part of Terry, a very dappy married man with an equally dappy wife Trish.
The pair of them laugh together through out the play. They sound like a couple of schoolgirls who just met Scott at a 5ive concert!!!!
Terry makes some very bad fashion mistakes through out the play including a fluorescent blue and yellow shell suit to sweater shop jumper to jumpers that Giles Brandreth would have been proud of (older fans will know what I’m talking about)
The plot Roddy played by mark Jones falls 10 stories off the top of a burning building and goes into a coma whilst in the coma he meets his guardian angel St Peter (David Essex) at the pearly gates. St peter takes Roddy on an electric dream through his life in the eighties, from running the nightclub Boogie Nights, to opening a fitness club, then acid raves and drug taking, Roddy did it all. Getting into trouble and loosing his best mate Terry along the way.
Roddy eventually apologises to Terry and continues to tease him about his jumpers!!!
It ends in a game show in the style of family fortunes (a British game show where two families compete against each other for cash and prizes a car) Roddy has to guess three things that lead to a happy life. The other competitors are his Mother and Father who are both dead.
I’ll leave you to see the end That’s just a rough outline of a plot that is infused with fantastic songs (including Karma Chameleon, the ghost busters theme and Against all odds by Phill Collins) sharp comedy, costumes changes including Mark Jones dressed as Boy George, lots of men in tight swimming trunks and last but not least seeing Scott in a towel. This is well worth seeing so go get your tickets if you haven’t already and you might be lucky enough to meet Scott at the stage door like we did.
Its one of those shows that I would love to go and see again!!
Well-done Scott and good luck for the rest of the tour.
We did manage to get a few photographs but they are still in my camera.
