Event details

Two best friends, one unforgettable reunion!
NOW a brand-new musical comedy

Get ready to relive the soundtrack of your youth at NOW That’s What I Call A Musical!

Celebrating 40 years of iconic and chart-topping compilation albums, this brand-new musical comedy has an unbeatable 80s soundtrack and show-stopping direction and choreography by Strictly Come Dancing’s Craig Revel Horwood. This is an event you won’t want to miss.

This fun-filled evening is bursting with some of the greatest hits from the 80s: Gold, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, Tainted Love, Hey Mickey, Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves and many more!

Starring award winning comedy actress and EastEnders star Nina Wadia and 2013 The X Factor winner Sam Bailey, who will be joined on stage by special guest and pop icon, Sonia – performing one of her biggest hits, Better The Devil You Know!

It’s Birmingham, 1989. Gemma and April, two school friends, are busy with very important business – planning their lives based on Number One Magazine quizzes and dreaming of snogging Rick Astley! Fast forward to Birmingham 2009, and they’re confronted with their worst nightmare: the school reunion…!

As friends reunite, drama unfolds, and old flames reappear…

So dust off your spandex, crimp your hair and get ready to press play on the rest of your life.

NOW is produced by ROYO, Universal Music UK, SONY Music Entertainment and Mighty Village, and celebrates 40 years of NOW That’s What I Call Music.
