Grab your shades. Pop your collar. You have a date with glamour.
Synopsis
The 1980’s wasn’t all parties, rah-rah skirts and side-ponytails.
It was the Cold War. Chernobyl. The Berlin Wall. And the best
‘poncing’ about in pop music history.
Enter a world of artsy, decadent 80’s pop music excess as your host
Geraldine Quinn gives you a crash course in apocalyptic 80s
– inviting you to sing along to gloriously pretentious hits of the era.
Inflate those luft balloons and pout to the tunes of Ultravox,
Spandau Ballet, Bonnie Tyler, Pat Benatar, Duran Duran
– and many more – as Geraldine Quinn digs through this fabulous
era to present a loving, parodic, hilarious and exotic interactive
cabaret like none other.
Lyrics, sartorial tips and dance moves supplied. Prizes for best pretentious Euro-centric 80s outfit. Grab your shades. Pop your trench coat collar – you have a date with GLAMOUR.
Oh. Vienna.

This show is designed for a cabaret room and piano. It requires a screen which will display lyrics. It is hosted by cabaret writer/comedian Geraldine Quinn. Ideally it has an 80’s disco afterwards, and 80’s quiz prior, but these are up to the venue. Costumes are a MUST. Prizes are offered.
