Boogaloo Stu's POP MAGIC! Set for 6/8-10 at Camden People's Theatre + Tour
Devised and hosted by flamboyant part-time pop-star, musical alchemist and veteran of the Duckie Collective Boogaloo Stu, Pop Magic! combines cabaret, pop music and audience participation with cutting-edge recording technologies and social network platforms. Audience members collectively write, record and produce their own pop single and video, featuring an assembled cast of participants performing a flashmob dance routine. Along the way, Stu reveals the modest but glittering highs and barrel-scraping lows of his own pop career. The Camden People's Theatre, 58 - 60 Hampstead Road, London NW1 2PY, hosts Pop Magic from Fri 8 to Sun 10 June, 7.30pm.
Boogaloo Stu is a singer, musician, DJ and cabaret performer based in Brighton. Often described as a "showbiz multi-tasker", Stu started out as a knitwear designer, with clients including Bjork, Kylie Minogue and Mariah Carey, before turning to DJ-ing and performing on the alternative club scene in the mid-90s, at clubs such as Popstarz, Duckie and Ghetto. Stu is a member of the Duckie Collective, and starred in their Olivier Award-winning C'est Duckie, and in the Latin-American show School Of Dance at the Barbican Centre. He also hosted Eurovision for BBCi in 2008.
Tickets are £10, concs £8 from 08444 77 1000 or www.cptheatre.co.uk.
The tour dates are Emmanuel College, Cambridge - Sun 17 June; Jackson's Lane, London - Sat 23 June; Cabaret Arena at Latitude Festival - Sat 14 July and Hungerford Arts Festival - Fri 20 July.
Pop Magic! is supported by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
