Details

Williamstown Musical Theatre Company Inc is proud to present "EUROBEAT - Almost Eurovision" It’s a MUSICAL BANQUET. It’s a GLAMOURFEST. It’s a POLITICAL MINEFIELD. Eurobeat – the Eurovision Musical is an original adaptation of the infamous Eurovision Song Contest. Set in Sarajevo and hosted by the glamorous Boyka and her tall, dark, handsome and dumb cohost Sergei they present for the enjoyment of the audience 12 acts representing an eclectic mix of countries. Whether it be the Swedish pop stylings of Avla, the Russian boy band KGBoiz, from the Hungarian triplets the Molnar Sisters with their powerful folk music (sung in Hungarian of course) to the heartfelt longing of the song for Ireland presented by Ronan Corr, audiences are treated to a smorgasbord of entertainment presented by a cast of performers who sing, dance and whip audiences up into a frenzied state. In true Eurovision style at the end of the performances the audiences have the opportunity to vote (having been endowed with a nationality on the night and handed a voting form upon entry). The audiences votes are tabulated and then counted down as each country’s votes are given out ’live via satellite’. The event is reinvented every night as the audience dictates who the winners are. Once they are identified by the end of the voting the winners return to the stage for a triumphant reprise of their winning entry.
