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, blond, pretty and dumb co-host Sergei they present, for the enjoyment of the audience, 12 acts representing an eclectic mix of countries. 

From the Swedish pop stylings of Avla, Russian boy band KGBoiz, Hungarian triplets the Molnar Sisters (with their powerful folk music, sung in Hungarian of course) to the heartfelt longing in Ireland's song for Ireland (presented by Ronan Corr), audiences are treated to a smorgasbord of entertainment. The cast of 30 performers will sing, dance and whip audiences up into a frenzied state and 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 audience's 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. Book on www.koorliny.com.au or 08 9467 7118
