It’s boyband vs girlband in this high-energy, feel-good musical from the creators of Back to the 80s, serving drama, nostalgia, and iconic pop moments. Get ready for a full 90s pop revival, packed with smash hits from *Spice Girls, Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, MC Hammer and more. It’s bold, it’s colourful, and it’s giving pure throwback energy.
Set in a 1990s high school, Mark is on top of the world — until his superstar girlfriend, Queen Bee Shannon Van de Witt, drops him the second a shot at fame comes along. From hero to zero overnight … yeah, it’s rough. But Mark and his garage band aren’t going down without a fight. In a last-ditch attempt to win back the spotlight, they transform into a full-blown boyband, taking on Shannon’s fierce Candy Girls at the State Talent Show. Enter Ella — the talented new girl who might just be the secret weapon they need.
As the competition heats up, so do the stakes … and maybe something more. With rivalries, romance, and a Grand Final showdown looming, it all builds to one unforgettable night. Will Mark win the girl, win the prize, and win back his place on top? There's only one way to find out!
