Get ready to dance through time... Airlie Beach is about to experience a nightclub revival like never before.
Launching Friday 1 August, the brand-new immersive theatre show NOSTALGIA will make its dazzling debut at Magnums Hotel as part of the Great Barrier Reef Festival.
NOSTALGIA is more than just a performance, it promises to be a high-energy, sit-down theatrical journey through five decades of unforgettable nightlife.
Audiences will be transported from the swinging 60s and groovy 70s through the neon explosion of the 80s, the rebellious 90s, and into the pulsing club anthems of the 2000s. Think disco balls, power ballads, bold fashion, comedy, live vocals, and show-stopping dance routines, all rolled into one dynamic production.
“We’re reimagining the classic night out with a theatrical twist,” said the show’s creative directors Angela & Emmalene.
“Whether you lived through the disco days or just love the music, NOSTALGIA brings those unforgettable eras to life in a totally new way.”
“The show's designed around a flashback through time, and we're going back to nightclub eras.
“We start with the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s to 2000s, so it really connects to everybody.”
The show recently launched on the Gold Coast to rave reviews and has now brought its cast of eight professional performers, many fresh from international contracts, to Airlie Beach for a six-week season. Magnums Hotel has been completely transformed for the occasion, swapping its familiar party vibe for cabaret-style seating and velvet-laced ambience.
As part of the Reef Festival celebrations, the NOSTALGIA cast will also appear in the community street parade on Saturday, August 2, before taking to the main stage that evening with a spectacular preview performance.
Angela said she’s thrilled to be contributing to one of the Whitsundays’ most iconic annual events. She said it’s an honour to be a part of the Great Barrier Reef Festival, and the cast are excited to hit the stage.
Many of the performers are alumni of the popular touring show Infamous, which previously played to sold-out crowds in Airlie. NOSTALGIA now brings that same world-class energy in a fresh format that celebrates music, memory and movement.
The show will run during the Great Barrier Reef Festival on Friday and Sunday, with a sneak-peak show on Saturday at the festival’s main stage.
With limited seating available and the buzz already building, early bookings are strongly encouraged.
Whether you’re a Motown lover, a disco queen, a grunge fan, or a Y2K beat dropper, NOSTALGIA offers something for everyone.
Feel the beat. Relive the vibe.
Reignite the memories.
It's not just a theatre show it's a party through time.
