About

‘A glitzy comedic and loving tribute to the Eurovision Song Contest.’

Glynn Nicholas and Bev Killick
Music by Daniel and Gideon Frankel
By arrangement with David Spicer Productions

‘A glitzy comedic and loving tribute to the Eurovision Song Contest.’

This show is as close to the real thing you can get, with eleven countries competing, a multitude of anxious contestants, a gushing hostess and the quirkiness that both delights us and makes us cringe in a single breath.

It’s just like being at the finals of Eurovision, which this year happens to be in Belarus’ capital city, Minsk. Song Contest is a cross between a musical comedy, a concert and a sporting event. It’s an exhausting but ultimately affordable top night out. The audience votes using an authentic text-based voting system, so every night can have a different result.

Music

All original songs – each one very “Eurovisiony” (yes, that is a word.) This show has wind-blown hair power ballads, pretty glitter boy pop, soulful groove and all manner of patriotic foolishness. It’s all here. The songs are top shelf and sound just like something you have heard before on Eurovision, only different and a bit wrong.

Competing Countries

Hungary, Germany, Sweden, Poland, Greece, Italy, Iceland, United Kingdom, Ireland, Russia and Norway.

This performance will take place in our Studio which is general admission unassigned seating.
