'Top of the Pops' to launch live theatre show

Top of the Pops has been turned into a new stage musical.

The live show version of the iconic television series will premiere on October 18 at the Congress Theatre in Eastbourne.

The theatre piece will contain a cast of singers, dancers, music, presenters and a live band, together with some memorable material from the BBC's Top of the Pops archive.

The show has been produced by Derek Nicol and Paul Walden, who created worldwide smash Thriller LIVE based on Michael Jackson's back catalogue of hits.

The popular production's director/choreographer Gary Lloyd will also work on Top of the Pops LIVE.

The new musical will screen vintage footage from Top of the Pops as part of a chart rundown covering three decades of hits.
