Back to the 80’s tells the story of the senior class of William Ocean High School, as remembered through the eyes of now thirty-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, Ill, whose best friend is his computer and who believes the crazy notion that one day, CDs will replace cassette tapes.
Featuring a cast of 30 AMP teens and adults plus a live pit band, full of fabulous dance numbers choreographed by Kristin Bean. You will recognize every one of the 20+ iconic 80’s hits in the show, like Love Shack, 500 Miles, Centerfold, Man in the Mirror, Time of My Life, Material Girl, and many more.
