Leave reality at the door and step into the surreal world of The Rock‘n’Roll Alien, a multi-visual voyage into the music and artistry of David Bowie. This spectacular show features a cast of amazing singers, dancers, and a live band.
Following its sold-out West End debut at the Lyric Theatre and a successful tour across the UK, The Rock‘n’Roll Alien will return to the West End’s Adelphi Theatre for one night only on Tuesday, May 27, 2025, at 7:30 PM.
From the alter-ego of Ziggy Stardust, through the dark and desolate years of Berlin, the pure joy of Let’s Dance to the genius of Blackstar, this is a theatrical reimagining of Bowie’s artistry. Featuring world-class musicians, dancers, elaborate costumes, and stunning visuals, experience a night of breathtaking and otherworldly performances that celebrate his ever-evolving genius in a way you’ve never seen before.
At the beating heart of this sensational show is an exceptional live band performing arguably the most sonically accurate versions of David Bowie’s greatest records with one or two surprises mixed in for good measure. The music at the core of the show has garnered praise from illustrious Bowie alumni such as longest-serving bandmate Mike Garson, iconic Bowie producer Ken Scott, and the legendary Rick Wakeman who – few know – played piano on the recording of Bowie’s Life on Mars.
Exploring the fashion and musical treasure trove of a man who recorded the classic album Hunky Dory at only 23, this production respectfully curates his legacy and in so doing delivers a kick-ass rock n roll show. It is an absolute must for the “Kooks” and Bowie curious alike.
Created and directed by Simon Gwilliam, with costume direction by Sadie Yukon, and produced by Simon Gwilliam and Sadie Yukon, The Rock‘n’Roll Alien promises to be an unforgettable experience.
