A cast of 53 students at The Telford Priory School have been working twice a week to put on the musical show 'Back To The '80s', which will run from Thursday, April 27 to Saturday April 29 at 7.30pm.

Back to the '80s tells the story of Corey Palmer and his senior year of high school: his best friends, the class bully, and the girl he loves.

The jukebox score includes a wide variety of popular hits such as “Video Killed the Radio Star,” “Total Eclipse of the Heart,” “Footloose,” and “The Time of My Life".

Student Josef who plays the character Corey said: “I can’t wait to perform it now and see all of our hard work pay off."
