Description

This passionate folk-rock musical tells the stellar story of the Fool who, with his world plunged into turmoil, reaches out to his lost love, Luck. As they traverse through the cosmos, she guides him into the uncharted territories of personal evolution. But with Mercury in retrograde, is everything as it seems? This new musical by Bobby Allan soars with powerhouse vocals and uses pioneering technical elements to tell a story of breaking free from the shackles of personal isolation and overcoming the darkness that dwells all around us preventing us from seeing the broader universe.

Bobby charmed, engaged and mesmerised us with his performance of songs and guitar as he tells his story and takes us along with him. True talent and originality.

A most thoughtful and thought provoking musical. The songs are both powerful and beautiful with superb guitar accompaniment. If you’re looking for something different, this is for you. A real tour de force!

5 stars! What a tour de force. This young man sings, plays guitar and speaks to the audience in a way I’ve never seen before! My mind is blown. This is a must-see. This uplifting journey through space will help take people out of depression and their negative thoughts. Come ASAP and bring your friends (especially if they love astrology)

Bobby Allan shines in this new musical! He's such a talented performer and it was so fun watching him both sing, play guitar AND write his own show. There are some cool tech elements in it as well that will impress people. Go check it out!

“Mercury in Retrograde” is a unique and original folk sci-fi album with a powerful vocal performance. It offers a different experience than traditional sci-fi operas, but a delightful one nonetheless.
