Ska theatre show with a live 9-piece ska band tracing the history of ska from Jamaica to the British 2 Tone revival.
Too Much Too Young are back at Harrogate Theatre on Thursday 29 October, their second year in the town after a smash-hit debut. It's a nine-piece live band of some of the finest ska musicians in the UK, and they're billed as the UK's premier ska theatre experience.
The show traces the birth of ska in Jamaica through to the British revival of the late 1970s and 1980s, when the 2 Tone movement fused ska, punk and reggae and reshaped British pop culture. On stage, they play hits from Madness, The Specials, The Beat, Bad Manners, The Selecter and The Bodysnatchers. It's not just a gig, though: the live band is paired with digital video displays, authentic instruments and clothing, a vibrant set and a dynamic cast. The whole thing runs about two hours.
Harrogate Theatre is a Victorian theatre in the heart of town, and for this production they're offering captioned, relaxed, audio described and British Sign Language interpreted performances. If you're taking someone who needs any of those, it's worth checking the details beforehand.
