Take a toe-tapping trip back to the 90’s in the hilarious new musical POPSTARS
and witness the epic battle between boyband vs girlband on the Gungahlin College
Theatre stage. Presented by the Musical & Stage performance students and
crewed by the Live Production Services students, this show is sure to delight!
Packed with pop smash hits from the hyper-coloured 1990's by artists such as THE
SPICE GIRLS, BACKSTREET BOYS, N*SYNC, BRITNEY SPEARS, CHRISTINA
AGUILERA, MC HAMMER and many more. POPSTARS is set in a school in the
1990's where Mark is head over heels in love with his girlfriend, Queen Bee,
Shannon Van de Witt.
However, when Shannon learns that pop-band impresario Simon Austin is the
surprise judge at the State Talent Show she dumps him for her chance at
showbiz stardom. Mark rapidly goes from High School Hero to High School Zero.

There’s just one small problem... the boys can’t dance. To address this ‘minor’

boy band makeover and sparks soon fly.
Can Mark get the girl, get the Grand Prize and get even with the scheming
Shannon closing in? It’s anyone’s guess as the countdown to the Grand Finale
begins. It’s sure to be one to remember…
