Performance date and time

With the modern jukebox musical traditionally comes a multi-talented cast, a live band, opulent sets and decadent costumes, extravagant dance routines, dramatic key changes and the odd hydraulic lift or two. We’ve Got Each Other has none of these things (they cost a lot of money), but Paul still tries to create this all singing, all dancing spectacle using the powers of your imaginations. We’ve Got Each Other is a laugh out loud show celebrating juke-box musicals, Bon Jovi, and the community that is formed when people come together and believe. We might not have the West End on our doorstep, but in a hall near you: 'We’ve got each other… and that’s a lot for love!' The show is about 70 minutes long in total and does include a 'theatrical break' which Paul is happy to turn into an extended raffle! It creates the full scale spectacle and wonder of a broadway musical, with little more than cover versions of Livin On A Prayer, 180 lighting cues (we can do some wonderful things with 12, and some desk lamps) a bit of imagination and a bit of storytelling. The show has no set other than a chair. Ideally it would be great to have some fixed rigs to use or places where we can attach household lamps to make an impact on the space. Ideally, having as much technical time as possible will just allow us to refine the 'spectacle' to suit the venue but we have before worked to very tight get-ins.
