Popstars! The 90’s Musical at Holroyd
A brand new musical based on the hit songs from the 1990s have been adapted for the stage. Written by Aussies, Neil Gooding and Nicholas Christo, Popstars! The 90’s Musical will open on Thursday 24 September at the Redgum Centre in Wentworthville.
Set in a high school in the 1990s, a mega talent agent offers stardom to the winners of a battle of the bands competition. Ex couple, Shannon and Mark put their high school dramas aside for a boy band versus girl band showdown to become, Popstars.
“Popstars is a real crowd pleaser. It is meant to be something that sends audiences out there by singing all the songs they probably already know and clapping along and having fun,” said co-writer Neil Gooding.
Remember artists such as MC Hammer, Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys, Christina Aguilera and The Spice Girls when they dominated our radios?
“Audiences are invited to experience the fluorescent and clashtastic party that was the 1990s. They will arrive humming classic 90s tunes from the lobby including Hit Me Baby One Time, Let’s Get Loud, Genie in a Bottle, just to name a few,” said director Ryan Thornhill.
“Teenagers of the 1990’s will reminisce over the songs they had of their first kiss or break-up and song they cried to. Adults of the 1990s will see similar cringtastic outfits and hairstyles they wore in Popstars. The youth that were unfortunate enough to miss out on the 1990s can come and see what all the fuss was about,” said Ryan.
“It’s a hilarious musical,” continued Ryan. “Expect to see all the fashion, hair and make-up that was the 1990’s.”
