It stars some of the finest actor-musicians in the UK, whose combined West End credits include BuddyLennonForbidden Planet, and Jailhouse Rock.

The show rarely pauses for breath and is, quite simply, the most compelling concert of its kind. The hits just keep on coming—That’ll Be The DayPeggy SueHeartbeatIt Doesn’t Matter AnymoreRaining In My HeartOh Boy!—and many more.
