Made up of Leeton High School students, the singing and dancing extravaganza is one not to be missed, especially by those with fond memories of the 1980s decade.

Hundreds of hard work has been put in by both the students and staff to ensure the show is one to remember, with Sunday afternoon rehearsals a regular fixture for many months now.

Leeton High School's Beck Van Den Heuvel said the final days leading into the show were always a blur of activity.

"The final days leading into the musical are a mixture of excitement and anticipation," she said.

"We are stocking up on blue eye shadow, hair spray, crimpers, lace and leg warmers.

"Everyone is 'like totally' excited for the week to come."

The show is open to all community members and tickets for the evening shows on Wednesday and Thursday nights, starting at 7pm, are still available from the Leeton High front office.

The shows will feature all of the wonderful outfits, music and crazes of the era and dozens of students are featuring both on stage and behind-the-scenes to ensure everything goes to plan.

"The students are feeling 'gnarly' to perform for their upcoming audiences," Mrs Van Den Heuvel said.

"They have been working hard over the last six months and, while the nerves are ever-present, the students are well prepared.

"They are fine-tuning their inner Cyndi Lauper, Rick Astley and Bon Jovi's.

"The students are delighted to bring this musical to life for their friends, family and the wider Leeton community to showcase the 'radical' performing arts at Leeton High School."

The beauty of this musical is there are several main characters throughout the show, meaning more students will have their chance to showcase their unique skills and abilities.

It also allows for those in the back stage crew to have their turn at lighting, music and more.

Students from across the shire will also get a chance to view the musical during a matinee show.
