This immersive audio-visual rock ‘n roll tribute show will be split into two sections. The first half celebrates Elvis Presley (performed by Andrea Giglio), while the second half pays tribute to foundational rock revolution icons backed by a live 5-piece band.

This feel-good show will be packed with iconic ABBA hits. There will also be comedy and vibrant performances, in an interactive experience for all ages, which will also include plenty of sing-along moments.

Theatre KidZ
