The brand new Stock Aitken Waterman musical coming to Cardiff
Wales Millennium Centre brings all the hit-factory songs we love, finally on stage together in an all-new musical with a digital Kylie!
Head from the aisle to the isles in the official Stock Aitken Waterman musical featuring the soundtrack of a generation with music from pop royalty including Kylie Minogue (I Should Be So Lucky), Rick Astley (Never Gonna Give You Up), Jason Donovan (Too Many Broken Hearts) and Bananarama (Love In The First Degree).
I Should Be So Lucky: The Stock Aitken Waterman Musical features no less than 10 Number 1 singles and over 25 songs from the Hit Factory whose music defined an era. In 1984 record promoter and producer Pete Waterman joined forces with songwriters, record producers and musicians Matt Aitken and Mike Stock, creating Stock Aitken Waterman.
Stock Aitken Waterman achieved a level of success and popularity that is unlikely to ever be repeated. Working with budding singers as well as established acts, they created an extraordinary pop catalogue that sold millions and dominated the music charts worldwide.
Working with artists as diverse as Kylie Minogue, Sir Paul McCartney, Donna Summer, Dead or Alive, Rick Astley, Bananarama, Jason Donovan, Sir Cliff Richard, Mel and Kim, Sonia and many more, they provided the soundtrack to a generation that continues to be enjoyed today.
This is the first show that brings all their biggest hits together for a musical extravaganza. Ella and Nathan are a young couple, hopelessly in love and about to take the biggest step of their lives – marriage. Until it doesn’t go quite to plan. Will they be together forever, or will he make her cry and say goodbye?
Hilarious and heart-warming I Should Be So Lucky is about family, friends, love and great times, featuring soaring anthems, classic pop tracks and dazzling dance sequences.
Kylie Minogue will also digitally appear throughout the show as a specially created character unique to the musical, saying “I’m thrilled to announce that I will be joining Stock Aitken Waterman in presenting the new musical, 'I Should Be So Lucky'! It is the music that inspired a generation (plus my first five albums!) so to have all the SAW hits in this original story will make for a compelling, funny and heartfelt show. Let’s enjoy the magic all over again!”
I Should Be So Lucky is at Wales Millennium Centre, 27 Nov – 2 Dec 2023, wmc.org.uk
