The music was great, the girls beautiful and talented, the production creative and captivating. Loved everything about it.
Joan B, London
An absolutely outstanding musical performance. The music evoked fabulous memories of a time when music had such an impact on the world and me. I thoroughly enjoyed singing along with a smile on my face and tremendous happiness. Thanks for the 60s and to the performers who made it all real again.
Kathryn K, London
What an uplifting show that made me want to sing and sway to the great music of yesteryear. The six leads were over-the-top talented - performances were perfection in every way. I couldn't stop smiling. Great costuming and set design, absolutely perfect to the times and the tunes. The choreography was perfect, and the personality of each lead in the company showed professionalism in every aspect of the show. Loved the band's enthusiasm and flawless performance. You can't get, or give, any better than this. Applause, applause!

 A soulful performance scene featuring a spotlighted soloist in an elegant, patterned green gown with gold accents and a matching headwrap.

 A solo performer strikes a powerful pose mid-song on a circular, psychedelic stage platform. Dressed in bell-bottom jeans with embroidered detailing, a fringed vest, and colourful feather accessories, the singer channels a 1960s hippie aesthetic. Pink-tinted sunglasses and a bold sleeve tattoo complete the vibrant look. Behind them, oversized flower power set pieces and a green glittering curtain glow under saturated theatrical lighting.

 Five performers in vibrant vintage dresses perform a cheerful musical number, each holding a clear umbrella decorated with colourful flower decals. They dance in sync on a retro-inspired stage with swirling platforms and oversized flower power motifs. The performers wear pastel and jewel-toned dresses in lavender, mustard, coral, cream, and hot pink, evoking a 1960s vibe. A live band is silhouetted in the background against a sparkling teal curtain.
