High-energy theatre spectacular fronted by Sandy Smith and Sophie Mairi with over 30 hits from the Swinging Sixties.
Shout Out to the 60s comes to the YMCA Theatre on Friday 6 November, a theatre show built around the music of the Swinging Sixties. It's fronted by Sandy Smith and Sophie Mairi, two vocalists who carry the whole thing on their voices and harmonies. They've taken the show across the country, and it's their West End pedigree that's helped it find its feet with audiences nationwide.
The set is a long one, with over 30 hits from the era. The names they're drawing from cover a good stretch of the decade: Dusty Springfield, Lulu, Cilla Black, Petula Clark, Aretha Franklin, The Supremes, Tina Turner and The Shirelles. It's a broad mix, pulling from the girl groups and the solo powerhouses that defined the sound of the sixties, so you'll hear the Motown side of things alongside the British pop of the time.
They describe the show as a high-energy, feel-good theatre spectacular celebrating the Swinging Sixties, and that's the pitch it's built on. With more than 30 songs in the set, it's a full evening of music rather than a short run-through, and the focus stays on the singing. Smith and Mairi share the lead, and the harmonies are a big part of how they approach the material.
