Vikki Holland-Bowyer, West End producer, director, performer and choreographer, said: "It’s broader in its range of music than your widest shoulder pads, standing stiletto-heels-like head and shoulders above the rest.
"We promise a show bigger than the biggest hair the Eighties had to offer, catch 80’s Mania – it’s sweeping the nation!
