“Taking inspiration from the iconic fashion and style of the time and performed by a full live band, the two hour show will take audiences on a fun-filled musical journey through the years from ‘Rock Around The Clock’ and the birth of rock ’n’ roll in 1955, through to the Beatles and the resulting British Invasion in 1964, with accompanying nostalgic video footage throughout.”

Be Bop A Lula is at the venue on Friday, August 23 (7.30pm).

Tickets for the production cost £12.50-£25.50.

A spokesperson said: “The West End smash hit comes to town starring five giants of rock ’n’ roll – Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent, Billy Fury, Buddy Holly and Roy Orbison.

“In 1960 American rockers Eddie and Gene flew in from the States and were joined by British heartthrob Billy Fury for the UK’s very first multi-artist rock ’n’ roll tour.

“Reviewers were appalled by the onstage antics. Audiences screamed their approval. British youth culture was born.

“Relive these seminal concerts in the company of incredible singers and a band tighter than a pair of your tightest drainpipe trousers.”
