A FANG-TASTIC night lies ahead as the hit Vampires Rock show – starring 80s singer Toyah Wilcox – returns on Friday 12th September.
She will be vamping it up alongside Steve Steinman and the cast for this year’s 44-date UK tour with classic rock and roll tunes from Meat Loaf, Queen, AC/DC, Bon Jovi, Alice Cooper and Guns N’Roses.
The show combines a unique twist of rock, vampires and comedy and won rave reviews and standing ovations across the country when it premiered in 2004.
It is set in 2030 and Baron Von Rockula (Steve Steinman) is searching for a new bride. When Pandora Honey Roseybox arrives to audition for the resident vocalist position at the Live and Let Die club, little does she know that the only job on offer is to be the Baron’s eternal bride.
The night of classic rock is played out by the Baron’s hand picked band, The Lost Boys and more than a hint of comedy, thanks to his sidekick Stringfellow.
Rock singer Steve is a well-known name, having worked in the industry for 20 years alongside artists such as Meatloaf’s lead guitarist Paul Crook and more recently Eddie Ojeda of Twisted Sister fame.
He will be joined by Toyah Willcox whose career has spanned more than 30 years – notching up 13 top 40 singles, 20 albums, 10 feature films and numerous TV shows.
Organisers say Vampires Rock not only showcases the greatest rock anthems ever, but also offers up an amazing stage set with spectacular pyrotechnics.
And just like the classic glam goth fest The Rocky Horror Show, audiences have flocked to theatres dressed as Dracula, vampires, ghosts and ghouls.
Tickets for the performance, are priced £18 each and can be purchased by calling the Majestic Box Office on 01777 706 866.
