The Hoff, as he is known to millions of fans across the world, will lead the cast when the Ibiza-themed romp opens for the first time at Blackpool Opera House this October.
The cast is led by DAVID HASSELHOFF as Ross; STEPHANIE WEBBER as Penny; SHANE RICHIE JNR as Rik; KIM TIDDY as Mandy; BARRY BLOXHAM as Masher; TAM RYAN as Jose/Cover Ross; NATALIE AMANDA GRAY as Amber; EMILY PENNY as Shazza/Cover Mandy/Penny; WILL MARKUS as Perez/Cover Ebenezer; DARIUS J JAMES as Boy 1/ Cover Rik/Jose; STUART ROUSE as Boy 2; BARNEY HUDSON as Boy 3; JOSEPHINE SCAMELL as Girl 1/Cover Amber/Shazza; HANNAH VEERAPEN as Girl 2/Dance Captain; HANNAH BODENHAM as Girl 3; GARY NEWBOLD as Man 1; ANDY STURGES as Man 2 and RICHARD LINFORD as Perez Cover.
Last Night a DJ Saved My Life, written and directed by Jon Conway, promises to be the party night of the year.
The Hoff plays an extrovert, party going, DJ and night club owner on the party isle of Ibiza at the start of the 1990s. His teenage daughter arrives to stay for the summer and he has to cope with being a single parent to a girl who wants to meet boys and live the party life. Suddenly his motto is “do as I say, not as I did!”
‘Ride on Time’, back to a ‘Saturday Night’ in the 90’s ‘When Things Can Only Get Better’, and ‘The Only Way Was Up. Girls wanted to ‘Spice Up Their Life’, Robbie Williams-types wanted to love these ‘Angels’ and friends promised ‘I’ll Be There For You’.
A string of hits from Maria Carey’s ‘Hero’ to M.C.Hammer’s ‘Can’t Touch This’, underscore a fast and funny story that will register with young and old when mobile phones were the size of house bricks, Nintendo Gameboy was the ‘in’ thing and we discovered Windows 95!
Michael Williams, Managing Director of Blackpool’s Winter Gardens, said the show will be fantastic for all music fans, fans of The Hoff and those just looking for a great night out.
He said: “Last Night a DJ Saved My Life ticks the box for so many people. Whether you grew up in the 90s, you were listening to your teenager’s music or you were watching the news there was so much going on and it will all be celebrated in this amazing show.
“The Hoff has such incredible appeal anyway and to be able to boast that he is coming to Blackpool to star in a World Premiere is great news.”
The World Premiere of Last Night a DJ Saved My Life is on Friday October 16. It will then run from Saturday 17 to Sunday November 1.
