Boogie Nights 2

Scott Robinson

And you wanted to forget the ‘80s?  Tough!  The people behind Boogie Nights 2 want you to wallow in those New Romantic sounds.

The show stars Scott Robinson (from 5ive), who’s making his theatrical debut, David Essex (who’s had 23 UK top- 30 singles) and Sophie Lawrence (from EastEnders, who also appeared in Boogie Nights 1).

The story starts 10 years on from Boogie Nights 1.  Roddy O’Neil (played by Mark Jones) has a near death experience and his life flashes before his eyes in a dream brought to him by his guardian angel (played by Essex).

Pulsating

David Essex is a veteran of musicals

But, as with all these sorts of shows, the story is just an excuse for playing the music of the decade.

So, settle back in Derngate’s ‘80s-style orange seats and relive the pulsating sounds of Wham!, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Human League and Kylie.

The original Boogie Nights has already been seen by more than one million theatre goers.

It’s likely the sequel will be just as popular.
