Commentaires : Notes: In the first half each singer had a solo spot, re-creating the famous hits but with each section ending with appropriate images - plane crashes, etc. In the second half all four were re-united for a “heavenly group” concert. The production had been on a UK tour and came into the West End because of a gap in the Piccadilly’s programming. The London Evening Standard critic said: “ Rock’n’roll will never die, but it isn’t looking too healthy at the Piccadilly. In this compilation tribute concert, unconvincing lookalikes impersonate dead rock legends. . . and murder their songs”. It ran for nine weeks.
