The Bowie Show sold out its West End debut at the Lyric Theatre and at venues across the UK earlier this year earning 5★ rave reviews.
Now this multi-visual voyage into the music and artistry of David Bowie will return in triumph to the West End’s Adelphi Theatre for one night only on Tuesday May 27 with a new name – The Rock‘n’Roll Alien.
From the alter-ego of Ziggy Stardust, through the dark and desolate years of Berlin, the pure joy of Let’s Dance to the genius of Blackstar, this is a theatrical reimagining of Bowie’s artistry. Featuring world-class musicians, dancers, elaborate costumes, and stunning visuals, experience a night of breathtaking and otherworldly performances that celebrate his ever-evolving genius in a way you’ve never seen before.
At the beating heart of this sensational show is an exceptional live band performing arguably the most sonically accurate versions of David Bowie’s greatest records with one or two surprises mixed in for good measure. The music at the core of the show has garnered praise from illustrious Bowie alumni such as longest serving bandmate Mike Garson, iconic Bowie producer Ken Scott and the legendary Rick Wakeman who – few know – played piano on the recording of Bowie’s Life on Mars.
Exploring the fashion and musical treasure trove of a man who recorded the classic album Hunky Dory at only 23, this production respectfully curates his legacy and in so doing delivers a kick-ass rock n roll show. It is an absolute must for the “Kooks” and Bowie curious alike.
