Go ‘Back to the 80s’ with Scoil Mhuire
02.02.09
REMEMBER when actors
became American Presidents, when bubble skirts and
blue eye shadow were cool and when Atari computer
games were cutting edge technology? From the era
that brought the world the Rubik’s Cube and the
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Scoil Mhuire brings
you a fantastic musical in the style of 'Back to the
Future, ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off’ and ‘The Karate
Kid’.
Join the graduating class of William Ocean High
School as they live through their final senior year.
Experience, with them, the fun, heartbreak, the
loves and the loneliness of growing up...and all set
to the biggest hits of the 1980s.
Set in the USA, ‘Back to the 80s’ tells the story of
the senior class of William Ocean High School as
remembered by Corey Palmer, who is now 40-something.
The role of the narrator, Corey Palmer Senior, is
played by Scoil Mhuire teacher, David Deeney. The
hero of the musical, 17 year old Corey Junior, is
played by Peter Deeney. He is madly in love with his
next door neighbour, the ultra cool Tiffany Houston,
played by Katie Shallow. However, she barely notices
Corey as she has a major crush on school heart
throb, Michael Feldman, played by Matthew Gallanagh. |
‘Back to the 80s’
features a nine piece orchestra and is set to an
irresistible score of over 20 classic 1980s hits
including ‘Footloose’, ‘Time of My life’, ‘Material
Girl’, ‘Dancing on the Ceiling’ and ‘Walking on
Sunshine’.
