Twist & Shout

An all-star cast from the West End delivers a musical powerhouse of a show that begins with the explosion of Brit Pop in 1962 and journeys through to the era of Flower Power and Free Love in the late Sixties.

Music lovers are invited to return to a time when skirts got shorter and hair got longer, as an incredible cast revives the hits of The Beatles, Herman’s Hermits, Gerry and the Pacemakers, The Rolling Stones, Cilla Black, Manfred Mann, Dusty Springfield, Lulu, Sandie Shaw, and many more.

Superb performances and beautiful, bespoke costumes transport audiences back to the sights and sounds of the Swinging Sixties. The non-stop, 40-song music feast includes She Loves You, Glad All Over, You’re My World, Jumpin’ Jack Flash, Something Tells Me I’m Into Something Good, Shout, Ferry Cross the Mersey, and so many more.

It’s often said that “if you remember the Sixties, you really weren’t there.” Twist and Shout gives you the chance to discover just what you missed!
