Based on the 1980s film of the same name is the UK musical tour starring Mica Paris, Keith Jack and Jorgie Porter.

Set in a New York Performing Arts School, we follow the rocky journey of the students through their adolescent years.

A mix of unrequited love (it all ends well!), challenging behaviour, substance abuse, sexuality and academic hurdles, all topped off with leg warmers and a healthy dose of leotards, this is a fun show for 80s fans.

Mica Paris reminds us of what a superb and powerful voice she has with other outstanding vocal performances from Keith Jack and Molly McGuire as Nick and Serena.

The performance consisted of a variety of dance routines from Salsa to ballet with some impressive lifts and hip twists.

Jamal Kane Crawford plays a brooding Tyrone successfully with some impressive hip hop dance moves and great partnering to Jorgie Porter’s Iris.

Their unlikely pairing is endearing and enjoyable to watch.

The saddest element and very apt at present is the eventual loss of Carmen due to substance abuse leaving a hole in her class.

This sadness turns into a great ending where finally we hear the whole of Irena Cara Oscar winning title song to the film.

Something I was disappointed to only hear in full at the end!

An enjoyable night that left the audience clapping and dancing in their seats.
