REASONS TO BE CHEERFUL TOUR
Back by popular demand, Graeae and New Wolsey Theatre return with its critically acclaimed, award-nominated smash hit Ian Dury and the Blockheads musical Reasons to be Cheerful.
Written by Paul Sirett and directed by Graeae’s Jenny Sealey, this acclaimed coming of age tale featuring Ian Dury and the Blockheads’ greatest hits such as “Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll”, “Sweet Gene Vincent”, “Spasticus Autisticus” and “Hit Me with your Rhythm Stick”.
Set in 1979 during a time of political change and economic hardship, Labour loses to the Tories, strikes rock the nation and Ian Dury and the Blockheads’ Reasons to be Cheerful (Part 3) climbs the charts. As the ultimate fans, Vinnie and his mates would do anything to see Dury at the Hammersmith Odeon, only the gig is sold out. But life has a habit of throwing strange things at you, and one night of frustration becomes something else entirely . . .
THIS TOUR ENDED ON 7TH APRIL 2012
