Description

Back for its 10th year this show bounces with energy. Follow Jim's story growing up in the 70s, from school disco to nativity scene, this jukebox musical will have you laughing and crying. A must-see fringe experience. We discover that Jim has died and his niece has taken on his last play to produce in his memory. With classic No1s from the 70s and scenes that will take you back to your youth but also show to younger audience members that some things never really change: first kiss, best friends and the opposite sex!

Brilliant. Side splitting laughter with toe tapping music and a sprinkle of the sad things that touch us all growing up, especially if you grew up in the 70’s. The talented cast make you double over with laughter and the School Nativity scene is the highlight of the show, could barely breathe as laughed so much.
Go you won’t be disappointed

A highly entertaining show - the right mix of humour and emotion with a fab soundtrack. Well done to the cast on delivering multiple roles and stirring many memories. Highly recommend to those who remember the 70s.

An excellent, lively and energetic performance, with a storyline easily recognised by those of us who were teenagers in the 70s. A snapshot of events, acted out and peppered with music that is well recognised, even by young people today. Toe tapping, seat dancing, sing-a-long, funny, sad and highly entertaining - could happily have sat for another hour. Cast were amazing. Definitely worth going.

A young cast that is full of energy and fresh enthusiasm bring back fond memories of growing up with Donny Osmond and Bay City Rollers. A really enjoyable feel-good hour with very talented teenagers. (Think Derry Girls go to Edinburgh!)

This show was fantastic! We were a group of four (two couples) who grew up in this era and this show was very relatable to us all! The cast were brilliant - especially their facial expressions throughout. We weren’t sure what to expect but it superseded all of our expectations. We left having laughed, sang, seat danced and reminisced about our young selves. Well done you were all fantastic! I have already recommended to friends & family.
