Qlocal was invited to the opening night of Jackie The Musical at the Liverpool Empire last night. If you grew up in the late 60's and the 1970's then if you are female(and a lot of males too) then you probably read Jackie.

Do you remember when there were no mobile phones, no apps, no texting, no e-mails and no twitter? When your only contact with other angst ridden teenage girls was through the pages of Jackie magazine, which every Thursday morning you read with bated breath (unless your big sister had grabbed it first!)

In Jackie The Musical we revisit those heady days of forty years ago, and tell the story of a recent divorcée, who seeks advice once more from the pages of her old Jackie annuals on ‘how to get a boyfriend’.
The quizzes, the fashion tips, the ‘do’s and don’ts on a first date’ and above all the ‘Cathy ‘n’ Claire’ problem pages are all devoured eagerly by our fifty-something heroine as she re-engages with the dizzy world of romance!

And to recapture the spirit of those early years, her journey is accompanied by a pulsating sound track of hits from the seventies – played live on stage – guaranteed to unleash a tidal wave of nostalgia over the entire proceedings.

Thrill once more to the unmistakable sounds of Donny Osmond, David Cassidy and Marc Bolan and many others as we take a whirlwind tour of Planet Seventies in Jackie The Musical.

Its a great night out we were buzzing in the Liverpool rain as we danced our way back to the car.

Jackie is at the Empire until Saturday.
