'Rip it Up' the Musical

If swooning over boyband members is your thing then "Rip it Up" is a must see. With McFly's Harry Judd, JLS's Aston Merrygold, and The Wanted's Jay McGuinness, alongside Olympic gymnastics champion Louis Smith. This good looking quartet make up the ultimate 60s boyband. "Rip It Up" is framed as a television show in the swinging 60s. Theatre-goers are taken through the sounds of the era – from Motown and Woodstock to The Beatles. On now at Garrick Theatre with tickets starting from just £25.
