The Beach Boyz Tribue Show
Let us take you on a journey of time and space, back to the 1960s and across to the sunny shores of the Golden state of California where the surf sound was conceived.
Whether you are coming back to see them again or coming for the first time, the show is exhilarating as ever, filling the auditorium with glorious, rich vocal harmony, the five all singing, all playing boys that are Beach Boyz Tribute Band continue to amaze, astound and defy belief in their recreation of America’s biggest and longest selling pop rock band The Beach Boys®.
No other tribute act can provide a lively fun packed show showcasing over 30 hit records that are performed 100% live.
You’ll hear Beach Boyz Tribute Band re-create the early rock and roll sounds with such accurate authenticity you will be transported back to the days of black and white; then carried on a wave of harmony to the multi coloured complex orchestral works of Brian Wilson and Pet Sounds.
Do not be surprised if at the end of the performance you are on your feet clapping and cheering for more, you will be in good company, for it happens at every Beach Boyz Tribute Band concert across the UK and beyond!

On sale from 12pm today: COMPANY b Theatre's Don Juan - A comedy by Moliere
📅Wed 17 & Thu 18 July ⌚️7:30pm 📮 Barbican Theatre, Castle St, Plymouth PL1 2NJ... 🎟 £6 concessions, £8 full 💻https://barbicantheatre.co.uk/…/don -juan-a-comedy-by-molie…/
“He’s the greatest scoundrel that ever walked on Earth…”
Don Juan. Young. Rich. Carefree.
Making his way from town to town leaving broken hearts and broken engagements left, right and centre. And getting away with it.
Bored by his latest conquest he arrives back in his home town with his reluctant personal assistant Sganaerelle in tow. But how long can he outrun the consequences of his own selfish behaviour? As exes, wronged women, Nuns, vengeful brothers, disappointed family members, charity workers and even the spectre of the man he killed close in, will he take a last chance at salvation?
Remixed for the present day of celebrity scandal and an individualistic culture from the original french comedy by Moliere, this production of Don Juan is performed by our COMPANY b Theatre, ending a year of their studying clowning, comedy and satire.
Directed by Jon Nash
