Overview
- The production runs through September 7 at Evolution London in Battersea Park with tickets starting at £49.
- A vast warehouse space is divided into themed areas—from a carnival funfair and Frosty’s Palace diner to an auto shop, gym and beauty school—to mirror the film’s 1950s settings.
- A live band performs the movie’s score and era hits while actors enact scenes in sync with screenings of the 1978 film.
- VIP ticket holders are invited onstage to join dance contests and group scenes, exemplifying the show’s interactive model.
- Early reviews commend the show’s ambition, choreography and period detail but note that its sensory intensity and sprawling scale can limit intimacy and make action hard to follow.
