Summary:

Hurry up and catch this show before it’s sold out and you’re queuing for returns!

More Details

Noise Boys is a great and surprising show as it brings together disparate talents and fuses them in an original and creative manner that rouses the audience and takes the roof off – the boys are in the house – and don’t we know it!

It’s fun, its original and it’s entertaining and even breathtaking at times with high- energy performances. Opening on an open set reminiscent of an Amazon parcel depot a range of guys slope on, shifting boxes and hanging out and chilling. Boiler suits and tap shoes confuse, parcels moved, packing cases shifted and suddenly keyboards and sofas are unpacked, and then the jammin’ starts and the place is jumpin’!

Beat-box meets tap, meets rap, meets cool vocals and wild guitar fused together by the spoken word – soulfully rapped by the female narrator. There are spins and jumps to thrill, vocal noises to enthral and excite along with moody songs to enjoy and words to consider. It’s a neat package when this warehouse is rocking to lead guitar with a rhythm section of tappers, at times competing for attention, and raising the stakes – no wonder the audience loved it.

For talent and energy this is a five star production. They are an original and eye-catching troop on the march and each has a stand out part to play and each takes their moment creating a warm friendly company show that pulls the audience in.

Don’t think it’s just about noise think of it as sound – lively,beautiful and varied – you won’t be disappointed – unless you don’t get a ticket!
