Five songs will be performed in original 18th Century costumes around a ‘rococo beatbox’ - mixing original songs from the show with  some pimped-up pop classics such as Katy Perry’s Fireworks mixed with Handel’s Fireworks music. You will be required to sing on the recordings which will be used as playback.

We will have our own ‘side show’ decorated with a large ‘Photo Floral Frame’ for punters to have their picture taken with you.
