Summary
Remember when actors became American Presidents? When
Bubble skirts and parachute pants were cool? When Atari was
cutting edge technology? From the era that brought the world
The Rubik's Cube, Max Headroom and The Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtles comes this "totally awesome" musical.
Join the graduating class of William Ocean High School as
they live through their final senior year - as they experience the
fun, the heartbreak, the loves and the loneliness of growing
up...all set to the biggest hits of the 80's.
Back to the 80's tells the story of the senior class of
William Ocean High School that graduated in the 1980's as
remembered and seen through the eyes of Corey Palmer, who
is now 30-something.
The then 17-year-old Corey is madly in love with his next door
neighbor, Tiffany, one of the coolest girls in the school.
However, she barely notices this, as she is too busy drooling
over Michael, the resident jock and the hottest guy around.
Michael and his friends are the kind of guys that Corey and his
two best friends, Alf & Kirk, dream of being. However, while
they may not be the coolest guys in school, they are still one
up on Feargal, whose best friend is his computer, and who
believes the crazy notion that one day CD's will replace
cassette tapes.
The year commences with Class President Elections: Michael
steals Corey's election speech, and when he uses his ideas
and promises the girls a kiss for a vote, he becomes President,
with Tiffany as his Vice President.
Meanwhile the teachers are having issues of their own. Mr.
Cocker, after being in a relationship for two years with the
apparently conservative English teacher, Miss Brannigan,
woman of his dreams, has a little secret. How will he cope?
Will their relationship be able to survive this hurdle?
Throw in a Star Wars dream sequence, high-energy dance
routines, the obligatory 80's party scene, exuberant amounts
of blue eye-shadow, twenty cans of hairspray, as well as some
of the most popular songs ever written, and the result is a
musical that will not only delight and amuse an audience of
any age, but will definitely have you humming a familiar tune
all the way home!
