2005 Review

Following the Sell-out success of Boogie Nights the 70's musical - it was time to Boogie Again in Blackpool with Boogie Nights 2.... and this time in the 80's !

Starring David Essex, Eastenders Sophie Lawrence & Scott Robinson from Boy Band 5ive and Mark Jones as Roddy. Boogie Nights 2 was packed with over 80 pulsating hits from the 1980s, including Tainted Love, Material Girl, Eternal Flame, Everey Breath You Take, Heaven is a Place on Earth, Total Eclipse of the heart, Against all Odds and many, many more.

Afros were hung up, platforms put away and swapped for leg warmers, stilettos and puffball skirts as the sell-out, smash-hit musical, BOOGIE NIGHTS waved farewell to the 70s & danced its way into the decade taste forgot - the 80s!  If you remember rubics cubes, padded shoulders, white socks & 'loadsamoney', you would have loved this show.

2004 - Review

Boogie Nights tells the story of teenage sweethearts, Roddy O'Neill and Debbie Turner. Roddy dreams of being a rock star, Debs just wants to settle down. The centre of their world is the Boogie Nights disco, but this is where their world together finally comes to an end. Roddy has a fling with the resident songstress Lorraine, Debs finds out and has a miscarriage. She eventually finds happiness with Dean, while Roddy realises his dream. The finale is set at the disco where he is making his debut as the singer with the band. Even then, he can't quite decide if he has found a dream........or lost one.......

Seven years since Jon Conway and script associates Shane Richie and Terry Morrison first staged their semi-autobiographical story-and-song reminiscences of the seventies and it is still a work in progress.

It remains thin on plot and laden with music but it has adapted to its current cast and now incorporates one of the country’s most popular stand-up comedians and the youngest member of the world’s first multimillion-selling boy bands.

Jimmy Osmond has genuine American stage charisma. Shoehorned into the story, he first appears in cabaret mode with a short selection of Osmonds hits and a sample of his new work - in modern suit and consummately professional style.

Later he re-emerges in more seventies mode - including his own Long Haired Lover From Liverpool hit with flashback projections - and again for enthusiastic duets with Billy Pearce.

The comedian clearly tries to play it straight for his stage musical debut. Mostly he manages to but it clearly galls to only be able to add the occasional one-liner to his role as young Roddy, torn between ambition and hormones.

Petrina Johnson is not the most obvious choice as his love interest Debbie - a good voice but as unlikely to be strutting in the Boogie Nights disco as Pearce himself.

More suited by far is Veronica Hart as sexy clubland singer Lorraine, a temptress whose singing and dancing talents would have talked Roddy into anything.

Jayne Doyle is another scene stealer - a future Su Pollard in the making - and Don Crann winningly plays Roddy’s dad in the style of Father Ted’s permanently inebriated Jack.
