Do you remember when there were no mobile phones, no apps, no texting, no e-mails and no twitter? When your only contact with other angst ridden teenage girls like you was through the pages of Jackie Magazine, which every Thursday morning you read with bated breath! (Unless your big sister had grabbed it first…)

In ‘Jackie The Musical’ we revisit those heady days of forty years ago, and tell the story of a recent divorcée, who seeks advice once more from the pages of her old Jackie annuals on ‘how to get a boyfriend’.

Thrill once more to the unmistakable sounds of Donny Osmond, David Cassidy and Marc Bolan and many others as we take a whirlwind tour of Planet Seventies in ‘Jackie The Musical’.

The production is in association with D. C. Thomson.
