80's Kids!

"HOLY JOHN HUGHES THAT WAS SO MUCH FUN!!!"

Get ready to turn up the nostalgia and sing your heart out! Synthpop sweethearts Shannon Curtis and Jamie Hill are back with their new concert-style theater show 80s kids — a high-energy joyride through the best of 1980s synthpop, wrapped in funny, moving stories about growing up in the 80s.

When their 2023 album "Good to Me" started gaining traction internationally, synthpop artist Shannon Curtis and her husband, record producer Jamie Hill, were faced with an unexpected question: how to extend their typical one-year album cycle without interrupting their favorite couples activity — making recordings together.

The 80s kids live show that Curtis and Hill are touring around the country is an incredibly joyous and high-energy affair, packed from beginning to end with some of the biggest and most iconic hits of what they affectionately refer to as "the John Hughes wing" of 80s music.

Onstage, Curtis and Hill expertly weave the songs together with entrancing immersive video art and funny, emotional storytelling about growing up in the 80s. Audiences leave not just entertained but moved, inspired, and ready to take on the world.

A peek at the setlist reveals songs by a-ha, Pet Shop Boys, Erasure, and OMD — as well as smashes by Depeche Mode, New Order, Alphaville, The Human League, and many more 80s synthpop favorites.

In keeping with Curtis and Hill's theme of "MAXIMUM JOY," the 80s kids live concerts are focused on inclusion and community, with audience members invited to dance on stage, an 80s photo booth with neon props, and a pervasive group singalong vibe throughout the evening.

80s dress is highly encouraged; there are freebies at the merch table for anyone sporting era-appropriate fashion. Grab your friends, dust off your fingerless gloves, and get ready for a night of pure 80s joy!
