About this event
Caroline dreams of something more than stacking shelves at the local greengrocers. Her days are routine, but her nights come alive, walking the pier, sharing laughs with her best friend Mary, and spinning records with Robbie, her music-mad boyfriend who’s big on charm but short on direction.
But a music revolution is coming, and Robbie lands a shock gig with Radio Caroline—the pirate radio station blasting pop, soul and rock ’n’ roll from a ship off the Essex coast and suddenly everything changes. Caroline is swept into a tidal wave of music, mayhem and a movement that would shake up British culture forever.
Set to a soundtrack of iconic hits from the 60’s, Caroline is a vibrant, heart-warming and rebellious new musical about love, ambition and discovering your own voice.
She’s not a DJ. She’s not a rock star. But in the middle of Britain’s radio revolution, Caroline might just steal the show.
Written by Vikki Stone. Caroline is brought to you by the East Anglian Touring Consortium which includes Eastern Angles, HighTide, Landmark Theatres (New Theatre Peterborough), Mercury Theatre, Colchester, New Wolsey Theatre, Norwich Theatre Royal, Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch and Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds.
