Before his tragic death in 1977, just days short of his 30th birthday, Bolan lived life at breakneck speed creating a series of iconic images, a string of number one hits and an army of fans. With classic songs including Get It On, I Love To Boogie, Ride A White Swan, Tainted Love, Heroes, Bye Bye Love and, of course, 20th Century Boy, this show is a glorious story and a colourful celebration of glam rock at its best. Nominated for Best New Musical (Manchester Theatre Awards), 20th Century Boy is glam rock at its best and is guaranteed to have you boogying in the aisles!

The household is controlled by the family physician, the footmen behave more like guests than servants and the secretary Isla is afraid for her life. As Tanner moves closer to the heart of the mystery he uncovers a shocking and closely guarded secret… Building on the phenomenal decade long success of The Agatha Christie Company, which sold over two million tickets around the UK, comes a new thrilling chapter.
