Shakey shakey hips: the musical!
One of the 2024 Edinburgh Festval's biggest hits comes to The Sanctuary Theatre, East Belfast!
This hilarious epic 50s rock musical follows Shakey Sean who works in an Arbroath egg’n’roll van. A customer asks for a 'rock’n’roll'. Shakey concedes he doesn't sell this, and this spurs the invention of rock’n’roll.
Shakey decides to change his egg’n’roll van into a rock’n’roll van, hitting the road, chasing dreams of becoming a rockstar. Hopes are tested by a virus: The Shakey Shakey Hips. Can Shakey save the world, get to his rock’n’roll shakedown in Las Vegas and beat evil Elvis – Johnny B Bad – in a hard rock battle? Come and find out!
