Theatre
Back to the 80s! with Castletroy College for an evening of musical nostalgia
Castletroy College Musical cast are gearing up for their production of Back to the 80s! taking to the stage this November 13 and 14
Castletroy College’s musical, Back to the 80s, will take audiences on a nostalgic journey back in time
The production will showcase the talents of the Castletroy College students, who bring infectious enthusiasm and energy to the stage while endeavouring to capture the essence of the 1980s.
Back To The 80’s tells the story of the senior class of William Ocean High School as remembered through the eyes of now 30-something Corey Palmer. 17-year-old Corey is madly in love with his next-door neighbour, Tiffany Houston, one of the coolest girls in the school. However, she is too busy mooning over Michael Feldman, the hottest guy around.
Michael and his friends are athletic and good-looking – the kind of guys that Corey and his two best friends dream of being. However, while they may not be the coolest guys in school, they are still one up on Feargal McFerrin III, whose best friend is his computer, and who believes the crazy notion that one day CD’s will replace cassette tapes.

The production is filled with high-energy dance routines, the obligatory 80’s party scene, copious amounts of blue eyeshadow, twenty cans of hairspray, as well as some of the most popular songs ever written including ‘Footloose’, ‘Total eclipse of the heart’, ‘Girls just wanna have fun’, resulting in a musical that will delight and amuse audiences of any age. Back to the 80’s has a contemporary flair that will certainly have you dancing on the ceiling in the Castletroy College sports hall!
The talented cast is led by Teacher Conor McGowan as the narrator (Corey Snr), and under the expert guidance of Director Jessica Bray and Musical Director Catherine Clohessy, Producer Anita Cunneen and Choreographer Alison Kearney.
‘Back to the 80s’ promises to be a memorable and unforgettable experience for all involved, demonstrating the enduring appeal of classic 80’s music and storytelling.
“I am excited and eagerly awaiting what promises to be a dazzling spectacle, featuring a talented cast of students who have been working tirelessly to bring us all right back to the 80’s. The production will showcase stunning sets, elaborate costumes, and a powerful score with music we can all sing along to. Tickets are already selling fast so booking without delay is advised”. (Principal Brian O’Donoghue)
The show will take place on Wednesday and Thursday, November 13 and 14 at Castletroy College Sports Hall with doors at 7pm. Tickets are €20 for adults and €10 for child or students.
