Shang-a-Lang is the unmissable, feel good play from Catherine Johnson, the writer of the smash hit musical Mamma Mia! Three forty-something Scottish women decide to relive their youth by going to a 70s revival weekend in Butlins, where the Bay City Rollers are playing. Our three girls were Rollerettes back in the day but lack rock and roll in their middle age. Can you ever recapture your youth, and if you could, would you really want to?

Join us as our three heroines; sex mad and gallus Lauren, dissatisfied and scunnnered Jackie and sad-sack and slightly desperate Pauline, take a trip back in time to the decade where the fashion was unforgettable and the music memorable. Will Lauren stay sober, will Jackie stay married and will Pauline ever find her own ‘Woody’?

Presented by Rapture, Shang-a-Lang continues their reputation for combining quality and populism with a top notch cast of Scottish performers bringing the humour and drama of the script to thrilling life! Laced with laughs, tears and a fabulous soundtrack, book now for a guaranteed good night out!

WRITTEN BY BEN ELTON Rod Stewart is quite simply one of the best selling recording artists of all time in a career spanning five decades. Tonight’s The Night, the smash hit West End musical comedy inspired by the songs of Rod is the all-singing, all-dancing feel good show which went on to play sold-out theatres across the UK. Tonight’s The Night is back and now is your chance to rediscover the magic of timeless classic songs, from Maggie May to Baby Jane and Hot Legs to Sailing plus many more!

Set on the mean streets of Detroit and in the glamorous clubs of uptown LA, Tonight’s The Night tells the story of a shy young man, so tongue tied that he cannot find the courage to declare his love to the girl of his dreams. How different he is to his hero, that legendary rock n’ roll vagabond Rod Stewart - now there’s a guy who never had any trouble hitting on a girl! One night our hero strikes a deal with the Devil, trading his soul for Rod’s. It seems like a good idea at the time but this guy is about to find out the hard way that you can’t find true love using another man’s moves and that devil or no devil, there’s only one Rod Stewart!

Written by multi award-winning writer and comedian Ben Elton (We Will Rock You) this sensational musical comedy features spectacular staging, a world class band and dazzling choreography.

Directed by Cjay Ranger, Choreographed by Denise Ranger. Photos of previous cast.
