A BRAND new jukebox musical which made its debut earlier this year arrives in Redditch on June 1.

The show features a live band of professional musicians from around the region, including Simon Foster who now lives in Redditch .
As well as featuring million selling hit songs the show also includes authentic archive film footage to recreate the atmosphere of the hippy 60s.

Music from artists such as Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, The Eagles, The Mamas and Papas, The Monkees, The Turtles will be featured, along with singer/songwriters including Carole King, James Taylor, Joni Mitchell and Jackson Browne.
