Show Bio

Rave On – The Ultimate 50s & 60s Experience returns with a brand-new show! Back for another year and jam- packed with more classic hits than ever before. Enjoy note perfect renditions of the most loved sounds from the decades that gifted us Rock and Roll.

From the emergence of Rock and Roll at Sun Records in Memphis, Tennessee to the British Invasion and beyond, Rave On is a thrilling tour through music’s most revolutionary decades. Join us for an exhilarating evening of toe-tapping, sing-along iconic classics, vibrant vintage costumes, colourful staging and dancing in the aisles!

Rave On includes hits from the likes of Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, The Beatles, Connie Francis, Little Richard, Roy Orbison, Lulu, The Beach Boys and many more. Take a step back in time and experience the history of rock and roll music like never before.

Performed by an incredibly talented, era-obsessed group of young musicians, this brand-new show features leading performers from West End productions including The Buddy Holly Story, Million Dollar Quartet and Dreamboats & Petticoats. Transporting you back to the fabulous 50s and swinging 60s in stunningly authentic style, Rave On promises to be a musical experience like no other.
