Two beautiful 1950’s JukeBoxes sit side-by-side.

Watch these two jukeboxes spring to life as two performers (hidden inside) re-create classic pop music videos in a lip-syncing musical medley.

Using props, masks, puppets and a terrible selection of wigs, the kitsch duo brings to life some of our favourite celebrity pop-stars from past and present. The Beatles, Sinead O’Connor, Miley Cyrus, Stevie Wonder and Adele all make cameos – and audiences are encouraged to sing or dance along with the show. Whatever your age, there’s a little something for everyone.

 

About Bootworks Theatre

Bootworks are a collective of artists creating performance for unusual spaces; our work can be found in fields, village fetes, cafes, garages, foyers, libraries, tents, studios and pubs.

They make performance that has its core focus on the personal, intimate and nostalgic. They often borrow from film and popular culture and aim to reach entirely new audiences with each new project that they develop, engaging audiences from all walks of life.
