Back by popular demand, the original BRITISH INVASION has been pulled out from the Stage West vault. In 1962, we were all twisting and shouting to the sound of “Run Around Sue”, listening to the Beach Boys and dreaming of California. Two years later, four mop-haired boys from Liverpool landed in America and changed the landscape forever. Although the BEATLES may have led the invasion, the army was comprised of hundreds of foot soldiers… The Stones, Chad and Jeremy, Gerry and the Pacemakers, Cliff Richard, Petula Clark, Lulu, Dusty Springfield, and later Rod Stewart, Tom Jones, Elton John, Annie Lennox and many more. Let us take you on a magical mystery tour as we relive…again… the BRITISH INVASION.

This thoroughly entertaining production features strong vocals from the entire cast and spot-on costume changes that really evoke each period and artist. Melissa O'Neil brings a seductive quality to each tribute, and manages to infuse a bit of her own vocal styling with each number. Terry Hatty can still wow a crowd with his strong vocals and ability to play to the audience. The rest of the cast seemed well suited to their strengths and genuinely had fun with the numbers, especially crowd favorite Gerrad Everard. With a great selection of songs, and backed enthusiastically by a live band, this is one show that should not be missed!.JPG)
