Braidhurst are proud to performing “Back To The 80’s” for this year’s school show.   Set in the USA, Back To The 80’s tells the story of the senior class of William Ocean High in the 1980’s.   17 year old Corey is madly in love with Tiffany Houston, one of the coolest girls in the school.   However, she is too busy mooning over Michael Feldman, the hottest guy around.   Michael and his friends are athletic and good-looking – the kid of guys that Corey and his two best friends dream of being.   However, while they may not be the coolest guys in school, they are still one up on Fergal McFerrin, who believes the crazy notion that one day CDs will replace cassette tapes…. The plot follows Class President Elections, the arrival of several new students, and the teachers’ own issues.   Throw in a Star Wars dream sequence, high-energy dance routines, the obligatory 80’s party scene, as well as some of the most popular songs ever written and you have a recipe for some outrageous fun.

Pupils have been working hard attending rehearsals and getting their neon t-shirts, leg warmers and crimpers ready to go.   As always, we have pupils from S1-S6 participating, with some even playing in the band!   They are certainly wearing out their dancing feet and getting into the groove with songs like Kids in America, Footloose and Walking on Sunshine.
