MAMMA Mia star Warren Sollars will lead the cast of the musical 20th Century Boy, playing glam rock legend Marc Bolan.
He will be joined by TV stars Sue Jenkins, of Brookside and Coronation Street fame, and Luke Bailey, who has appeared in Waterloo Road and Casualty, when the show rocks The Mayflower theatre from May 6 to 10.
The brand new musical, inspired by the life of rock legend Marc Bolan, explodes on to the stage nearly four decades after the iconic star’s tragic death.
Featuring some of the greatest pop songs ever written, 20th Century Boy tells the story of Marc Bolan and his band T.Rex, exposing some of the myths and taking the audience on a tearful, yet joyful journey through Marc’s fascinating life.
Rocker, poet, electric warrior, king of glam and godfather of punk, Bolan was arguably the biggest rock star the UK had ever seen.
Before his tragic death in 1977, just days short of his 30th birthday, Bolan lived life at breakneck speed, creating a series of iconic images, a string of number one hits and an army of obsessive fans.
Packed with all T.Rex’s 70s hits, including Ride A White Swan, I Love To Boogie and Get It On, staged by Gary Lloyd (Thriller Live) and with a West End cast, 20th Century Boy is a celebration of glam rock at its colorful best!
