CLUB Tropicana by pop duo Wham! was the ultimate song about fun in the sun during the 1980s. Now it’s a musical, and accompanied in Bradford by a host of other chart-topping hits from the decade that fashion forgot.
Club Tropicana, at the Alhambra Theatre from February 4-9, is billed as the perfect holiday musical to blow away the winter blues for the whole family.
A spokesman said: “ When a budding bride and groom get cold feet, they each decide to jet off to sunnier climes and feel the heat - but little do they know they’ve checked into the same hotel. The sizzling summer season at the Club Tropicana sees drinks flowing and tans glowing. Will our young lovers decide to go through with the wedding?”
The songs include Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, Take On Me, Just Can’t Get Enough, Oops Upside Your Head, The Look of Love, Making Your Mind Up, Relax, Islands on the Stream, She Drives Me Crazy, Don’t Go, La Dolce Vita, Surprise, Surprise, Church of the Poison Mind, Fantasy Island, Up Where We Belong, I Could Be So Good for You, and Fantastic Day.”
The cast is headed by X Factor winner and Joseph star Joe McElderry, Neil McDermott who plays Ryan Malloy in EastEnders, Kate Robbins from The Imitation Game, West End star Emily Tierney and former Sugababe singer Amelle Berrabah.
