Originating at The Cabaret Lounge at Above the Stag Theatre in 2021, Eurovision Your Decision, devised and directed by Tim McArthur, is back and making its debut at the King’s Head Theatre – bigger, bolder and camper, in true Eurovision style.
Join your hosts, the hilarious Katie and Demetrius as they introduce 13 iconic hit songs from past Eurovision Song Contests, performed by a cast of four West End performers. The stars of the London show are writer of the Above the Stag’s Puss in Boots panto, Lucy Penrose; Tim McArthur whose play A Word for Mother opens at Upstairs at the Gatehouse this Spring; Leigh Pollard (The Secret Garden); and David McMullan who has recently finished an eight and a half year run with the West End production of The Book of Mormon as Resident Choreographer, Swing and understudy Elder McKinley. Comedian Matt Richardson will return to voice the commentator.
Tim McArthur, the creator of the show, comments: I have been a huge fan of the Eurovision Song Contest, since Bucks Fizz ripped off their skirts in 1981, this show is a true homage, directly from my heart to the competition. I even had the honour of appearing as a cameo role in Scooch’s Flying the Flag video entry in 2007, it was a dream come true, Eurovision is like Christmas for Gays. Over the years I think Eurovision has gained a large following of all sorts of communities in life. This show is such a joy to celebrate everything Eurovision, from the presenters to the songs and even the voting from around Europe. If you love everything Eurovision then you will love this show… completely bonkers, sometimes makes no sense whatsoever but always fabulously camp!!!
During the interval the audience get to vote for their favourite and winning act of the night. After we have travelled around Europe receiving the votes from the Juries, these Jury votes are counted and added to the audience votes; then it’s time for the Winner to take their crown and the new Kings or Queens of Eurovision Your Decision 2024 shall reign!
Eurovision Your Decision has played in London for the past three years as well as in Liverpool and Brighton. After a successful relationship with Above The Stag Theatre, the show is now been produced by Daddy’s Money Productions.
