Step back in time with award-winning performance group Box Jelly, as they bring their sell-out show All Fired Up to a UK audience for the first time. This energetic story follows Tammy Tooth (played by Rachel Terry), a woman on the edge of a midlife crisis, who is transported back to 1987 by a mysterious mixtape, and asks some of life’s big questions while she discovers her younger spandex-clad self.

Celebrating favourite hand-picked rock and pop highlights of the era, the music is showcased by a live band as the audience is guided by radio presenter DJ Neon (Roz Pappalardo). With nostalgic tunes and an electric atmosphere glittering its way into your spirit, All Fired Up is the perfect excuse to get dressed up and follow your dancing feet. Expect comedy, 80s-style aerobics and plenty of reasons to show off your inner diva.

‘It’s never too late to follow a dream or a passion; in fact it’s just the start of a new chapter,’ says Terry. ‘We want the audience to be filled with joy and inspiration, to tap into that aspiration of youth and replicate it now.’ Speaking of youth, she’ll be singing alongside her own daughter, Scarlett, who plays her younger self and completes a family of performers: Rachel’s husband appeared in After Dinner, her previous Fringe show. As one of the weekly Best Theatre Award winners at the 2023 Adelaide Fringe, All Fired Up certainly seems a worthy reason to don those legwarmers once more.
