What is NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL A MUSICAL about?
Set in Birmingham in 1989, two school friends named Gemma and April are busy with very important business - planning their lives based on Number One Magazine quizzes and dreaming of snogging Rick Astley. Jump to Birmingham 2009 and it's the most dreaded event of their lives - the school reunion. It brings drama, old flames and receding hairlines - everything from the past starts to slot into place.
