Debbie Gibson burned up the charts in the 1980's with teen pop smashes like "Lost in Your Eyes," "Only in My Dreams" and "Shake Your Love." In 1988 the Guinness Book of World Records named her the youngest female artist to write, produce, and perform a #1 single on the Billboard Hot 100, with her song "Foolish Beat." She has gone on to star on Broadway and National Tours, as well as television and film. Gibson continues to write, record and produce music for herself and other artists in addition to touring the world.

The 1980's were the jam! From the totally tubular neon clothes and teased hair to the outrageous politics, giant computers, boom boxes and, of course...the unforgettable music! ROCKERS ON BROADWAY "80's Rewind" will jolt you back to the decade of revolutionary changes. We got our MTV and the compact disc so we could listen to the totally diverse music of the time, including pop, new wave, heavy metal, rap, techno pop, and charity rock. Let us take you back in time to celebrate the music.
