A fantastic Show, great actors, a plot that is telling a true and important story while also providing fun and entertainment - one highlight ist definately the battle between Mrs T and Mr G. Great singers presenting the top hits of the 80's. I saw the show for the second time and in case I have a chance I will come back to see it again. Clear recommendation for everyone who loves the songs of Queen, Madonna, Paul Young, Phil Collins, The Boomtown Rats and all the other legends of Live Aid. Great this is back on Stage.

On 13 July 1985, a group of talented musicians proved that music can overcome all barriers. In a world plagued with political unrest, 70 musicians managed to bring together 1.9 billion people to celebrate the power of music and raise funds for famine relief in Africa. The concert lasted around 16 hours, and has gone down in history to be the most-watched television special!
