BACK TO THE 80's on the West End.

Neil Gooding's jukebox musical Back to the 80's  had  a special performance on the West End.

An ambitious High School in Wales - with an unpronounceable name  Ysgol Y Strade hired a Cameron Mackintosh Theatre and staged the musical in Welsh.

Poor Neil missed his West End debut due to work commitments.

To make up for that he's staging his own pro-am production of Back to the 80's next month at Panther's Sydney and the Riverside Theatre Parramatta.

Back to the 80's is becoming a monstrous hit - with 100 productions in Community Theatre and High Schools in Australia, New Zealand and the UK in 2004.
