Hosted by David O’Reilly’s “Orla Board” as the glamorous mistress of ceremonies Marlene Cabana, the cast includes Joanne Clifton (BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing, The Rocky Horror Show), Tia Kofi (BBC Three’s RuPaul’s Drag Race UK Series 2), Harriet Thorpe (BBC’s The Brittas Empire, Cabaret) and Tom Read Wilson (C4’s Celebs Go Dating, BBC’s Celebrity Best Home Cook).

Following its 2008 West End run, EUROBEAT now features new songs and material, which (much like its real-life counterpart) is continuously evolving, adapting and reflecting current times. After Moldova and Bosnia & Herzegovina, it is now Liechtenstein’s turn to crown this year’s Eurobeat champion. Take a trip to this tiny Alpine nation for some hilarious new songs, and some old favourites.

With power ballads, outrageous dance routines, key changes, drag queens, politics and drama, EUROBEAT: The Pride of Europe is a celebration which will delight any fan of the iconic song contest.
