Eurobeat - the eurovision musical

Its a musical banquet. Its a glamourfest. Its a political minefield.

Eurobeat the Eurovision Musical is an original adaptation of the infamous Eurovision Song Contest. Set in Sarajevo and hosted by the glamorous Bronya (Julia Zemiro) and her tall, blond, pretty and dumb cohost Sergei they present for the enjoyment of the audience 13 acts representing an eclectic mix of countries. Whether it be the Swedish pop stylings of Avla, the Russian boy band KGBoiz, from the Hungarian triplets the Molnar Sisters with their powerful folk music (sung in Hungarian of course) to the heartfelt longing of the song for Ireland presented by Ronan Corr, audiences are treated to a smorgasbord of entertainment presented by a cast of 30 performers who sing, dance and whip audiences up into a frenzied state.

In true Eurovision style at the end of the performances the audiences have the opportunity to vote (having been endowed with a nationality on the night and handed a voting form upon entry). The audiences votes are tabulated and then counted down as each countrys votes are given out live via satellite. The event is reinvented every night as the audience dictates who the winners are. Once they are identified by the end of the voting the winners return to the stage for a triumphant reprise of their winning entry.

The spectacular first season of Eurobeat (or as it was known for its first outing Eurovision the Musical) was a sell out smash at Chapel Off Chapel in November 2003 setting the stage for more Euro outings in 2004. An 18 show season was presented as part of the 2004 Melbourne International Comedy Festival where it became one of the hits of the festival.The show was brought to the attention of a number of promoters and producers from both Australia and overseas and it appears that Eurobeat now has a very bright future on the world stage, with negotiations in progress for a national tour in 2006.
