Tribute show to Electric Light Orchestra fronted by Brian Cummins, with an eight-piece band, a female string section and a light and laser show.
The ELO Show comes to The White Rock Theatre in Hastings on Wednesday 4 November, starting at 7:30pm. It's a tribute to Jeff Lynne and the Electric Light Orchestra, and it's the brainchild of Brian Cummins, who's performed all over the world alongside some of prog rock's biggest names.
On stage is an eight-piece band where every member is a lead vocalist, rounded out by a female three-piece string section and the voices of six singers. The whole thing is built around a huge spaceship, a dazzling light and laser show, and 3D video screens modelled on ELO's own touring show design. It's a lot of production for one night, and the set draws on the band's vast back catalogue: 'Evil Woman', 'Don't Bring Me Down', 'Telephone Line', 'Sweet Talkin Woman', 'Turn to Stone', 'Wild West Hero', 'The Diary of Horace Wimp', and 'Mr. Blue Sky' are all on the list, with a surprise or two tucked in as well.

Cummins bills it as the world's greatest tribute to Jeff Lynne and ELO, and he goes to the minutest detail to bring the audience as close to the original as possible. Between the full band, the string section, and the stage set, it's a full-scale recreation rather than a stripped-back cover set. Under-14s have to be accompanied by an adult. Tickets are £36.50, and it starts at 7:30pm on Wednesday 4 November at The White Rock Theatre.
