Details

In Jackie the Musical we revisit those heady days of forty years ago, and tell the story of a recent divorcee, who seeks advice once more from the pages of her old Jackie annuals on 'how to get a boyfriend'. The quizzes, the fashion tips, the 'do's and don'ts on a first date' and above all the 'Cathy and Claire' problem pages are all eagerly devoured as she re-engages with the dizzy world of romance! And to recapture the sprit of those early years, her journey is accompanied by a pulsating sound track of hits from the 70s. Thrill once more to the unmistakable sounds of Donny Osmond, David Cassidy and Marc Bolan and many others as we take a whirlwind tour of Planet Seventies.
