A high energy musical that will take audiences on a journey through some of the greatest hits of all time is coming to the Missouri Theatre.
St. Joseph Performing Arts Executive Director Paul Storiale says Forever Young, is the story of a group of guys in a basement singing songs that defined their generation.
"It is a song and dance show, they're going to sing, they're going to dance, and they're going to perform the music of your life, the music that you grew up with, that you grew into whoever you are with that music," Storiale tells KFEQ Hotline host Barry Birr.
Storiale compares the show to a jukebox musical, but says it's even more than that
"Because it's an award-winning show, it was off Broadway, or either on Broadway or off Broadway, but it won a lot of awards, it's an incredible show," Storiale explains. "It's a show that's going to get to your feels, it's going to make you feel something, it's going to get you emotional, you can reminisce about your life while you're watching this show and the story they're telling."
Storiale says audiences will hear a wide variety of music in the show
"There's music from The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Bon Jovi, Brooks and Dunn, Billy Joel, and more and more, so it's music that we know and that we want to dance to," Storiale says.
Tickets are still available for the show on Thursday and can be purchased by visiting the Performing Arts Association website.
