Information for Twist and Shout at Hazlitt Theatre, Maidstone (Musical). It's 1969 and has Eric Smith finally 'made it'! The new group he's managing look good, play great and the fans love their music. They're ready for the big time! The only problem is - Eric is their manager and Dave, the hippie, is their roadie! Eric's organising a major tour, but will his geography let them all down? After all, this is the man who, twenty years later, still thought County Down was a Channel 4 quiz show! Or will this be Eric's crowning glory? And is the big gig at Wembley going to remain a dream or could it just come true? Enjoy some fab 60s songs the gang have never played before and some favourites they've played every single time! Groan at the jokes, be picked on by Uncle Eric, but mostly have yourselves a great night out! Come on, baby now, twist and shout .
