North Dorchester High School to present the musical ‘Back to the 80’s’

Posted

SHILOH - Join the class of 1985 as they experience the fun and heartbreak of growing up in that decade, portrayed by the North Dorchester High School Class of 2023 in the musical “Back to the 80’s.”

“Back to the 80's” is a nostalgic romp through the greatest hits of the decade. It tells the story of the senior class of William Ocean High School, as remembered through the eyes of now 30-something Corey Palmer.

Seventeen-year-old Corey is madly in love with his next-door neighbor, Tiffany Houston, one of the coolest girls in the school, but she is too busy mooning over Michael Feldman, the hottest guy around.

Michael and his friends are athletic and good looking — the kind of guys that Corey and his two best friends dream of being. However, while they may not be the coolest guys in school, they are still one up on Feargal McFerrin III, whose best friend is his computer and who believes the crazy notion that one day, CDs will replace cassette tapes.

“Throw in a Star Wars dream sequence, high-energy dance routines, an 80s party scene, copious amounts of blue eyeshadow, twenty cans of hairspray, as well as some of the most popular songs ever written, and the result is a musical that will not only delight and amuse audiences of any age, but will also inspire any young cast,” a statement from the school said. “‘Back to the 80's’ is a high-energy musical with contemporary flair that will certainly fill the seats.”

Shows will be Thursday, March 2, at 7 p.m., Friday, March 3, at 7 p.m., Saturday, March 4, at noon and 7 p.m., and Sunday, March 5, at 2 p.m. Performances will be in the auditorium at North Dorchester High School, 5875 Cloverdale Road.

Tickets are $10. There will be refreshments and T-shirts for sale.
