audiences can sing and dance along.

The Creative Team will be:

Beth John as Choreographer


Lucy Mitcham as Director and Musical Director
and Anya Booth as Assistant Director

Show dates and location


The production will be performed at the Sue Townsend Theatre, in the week of May 5 th to
10th 2025.

Rehearsals will start in September 2024, and will be Sundays 11:00 am to 2.30pm.
All rehearsals will be at Active Arts, 35-49 Pool Rd, LE3 9GH.

What we expect of you


You will be aged between 11 and 18.

We are taking this show on alongside “If/then” to give dancers a chance to shine as well as
keep those voices developing. You can be in both shows as long as your commitment is
exceptional.

You will be expected to attend all rehearsals, expect for illness or holidays. If you currently
attend dance school that is festival focussed, please check your expected festival
commitments before applying, as this may mean you can not make rehearsals.

Those auditions are in 2 stages.

Stage 1: Please complete the online application form by midnight Sunday 21st April.
Everyone needs to fill the form in, whether you have performed with LTG in the past or not.
For new members we ask you to submit a video to your application please. Your video is
your opportunity to show us your vocals and/or dance. Any song/s are fine.
Our shows are always of a very high standard so please give us everything in the auditions.

In return we will offer a hugely supportive environment as well as expert guidance in the
skills needed to make it in the world of musical theatre.

Stage 2: We will send an invitation to the in-person auditions once we have watched the
videos. The date of these auditions will be Sunday 28th April at Active Arts, 35-49 Pool Rd,
LE3 9GH 9am to 12 noon.

For the in-person auditions please come in proper dancewear so leo/sports bra top and
tights/leggings for the girls and boys we still need to see the lines whilst dancing. Bring jazz
shoes and trainers. Any song of the era is great for the singers, a dance will be taught on the
day for the dancers and there will also be a group singing exercise. Bring water.

Characters and synopsis

A pop culture trip down memory lane, Back to the 80’s tells the story of Corey Palmer and
his senior year of high school: his best friends, the class bully, and the girl he loves.

In the present day, Corey takes us back to William Ocean High School, watching himself and
his friends Kirk and Alf start their bid to be senior class president and vice-presidents, only to
have the opportunity stolen by bully Michael Feldman.

To make Corey’s life worse, Michael has also stolen away Tiffany Houston, Corey’s longtime
crush. But this isn’t the only relationship on the rocks: teachers Mr. Cocker and Ms.
Brannigan are fighting in their not-so-secret romance, Michael is posing as new girl Eileen’s
mysterious secret admirer, and Tiffany’s friend Cyndi doesn’t want to give admirer Billy the
time of day.

Add in a charity concert for Africa, a Star Wars-inspired dream sequence, and a final
showdown between Michael and class geek Feargal McFerrin, and Back to the 80’s is a non-
stop collection of music, movie, and TV Easter Eggs for all ages.

The jukebox score includes a wide variety of popular hits such as “Video Killed the Radio
Star,” “Total Eclipse of the Heart,” “Love Shack,” “Footloose,” and “The Time of My Life.”
