Details

A pop and dance musical about real people set in a King's Cross estate. Set in London's Kings Cross featuring a startling cast of memorable characters Inner City Jam exposes the heart of the seedy side of city life as prostitutes, punks, pimps and winos mixed with the odd honest soul struggling to earn a crust, try and dance to the same beat. Fading showgirl Maggie revives the soft shoe shuffles of her heydays as she tries to get one up on Elizabeth Taylor, hard nosed hooker Tina belts it out Broadway style, porn peddler Stewart is living it up in the gay underworld and single mother Joy proclaims her right to survive with revivalist fervour. Through these poignant portraits and a fantastic fusion of musical styles life on the city streets will never seem the same again.
