Chairman Julie Stott said: “Audiences can expect a fun, enthusiastic, feel-good show. Popstars was chosen to give our members a feel for a different era. It’s a boy band versus girl band show. Who will win?”

Set in a school in the 1990s, the production follows the musical mission of pupil Mark, who is madly in love with his girlfriend, Shannon Van de Witt.

But everything fall apart when Shannon discovers pop-band expert Simon Austin is a judge at the State Talent Show and ditches Mark for a shot at fame.

Mark’s grunge bandmates rally around him and soon they hatch a plan for revenge.
