Hot Stuff - Christmas Edition

Synopsis

The sounds that drove the Disco Generation set the stage for this hilarious night of glamour, glitz and total mayhem. Just listening to the opening of Dancing Queen or I Will Survive will bring back heady memories of hot summers, even hotter pants, loads of mascara, platform shoes and hair styles that defy all description. Hot Stuff is the Faustus story re-told in songs - sweet songs, rotten songs, songs as old as sin - they do say the Devil has all the best tunes!

Our Review:

14 December 2005

More than a decade has passed since Leicester Haymarket premiered its home-grown 70s musical Hot Stuff, a decade which has seen numerous UK tours and a couple of stints in the West End for the cult hit show.

But Leicester is firmly its home, and the show has undergone something of a revamp for its first-ever Christmas edition - and what a cracker it turns out to be.

Still wrapped up in cheesy tunes - from Peters and Lee to Abba via the Village People and T Rex, packed with oodles of glitter, and a real story to boot, it all adds up to a spectacular party night which sends you home grinning and singing way into the night.

And despite the addition of a few new songs - Tony Christie's "(Is This The Way To) Amarillo" and Slade's "Merry Christmas Everybody" - which guarantee audience singalongs, it's far from panto night, although you could be forgiven for thinking you were watching one of the best alternative "dames" in the business.

Fabulou...
