to Live Theatre
Friday 5
September, 7.30pm
Mixtape: Boy Band Vs Girl Bands Newcastle Live Theatre’s Studio Theatre |
Friday 7
November, 7.30pm
Mixtape: North East Newcastle Live Theatre’s Studio Theatre |
Fresh from their festival tour to the Secret Garden Party, Hijack
and Larmer Tree Festival and after a succession of sell-out shows at Alphabetti
Spaghetti Theatre, Mixtape are back presenting bite-sized theatre
inspired by music at Newcastle’s premiere new writing venue Live Theatre.
On Friday 5 September
the Mixtapers
will take on Boy Bands Versus Girl
Bands. Audiences will be invited to don their Union Jack dresses and 90s
puffa jackets and get their pop star attitude on for a high-octane ride down
Smash Hits memory lane. See the Spice Girls battle it out against All
Saints and Take That challenge Five in this edition of
Mixtape.
The Mixtapers will take songs
by Boy Bands and Girl Bands and, using only the song’s lyrics, create short
bite-sized comedy sketches that can be no longer than the tracks that inspired
them. The Mixtapers can only use the lyrics from the songs to create the
play’s scripts. The lyrics can be reordered in any way that the Mixtapers
choose but know additional words can be used. Part theatre show and part pop
quiz, audiences have the chance of winning the highly coveted Golden Mixtape if
they manage to correctly guess the songs and bands that inspired each short
sketch.
Audiences play along in teams for the chance of
winning the highly coveted Golden Mixtape. To win, teams must correctly guess
the songs and bands that inspired each short micro-play. The team with the most
correct answers will walk away with the highly coveted Golden Mixtape.
The Boy Band Versus Girl Band performers include Newcastle based actors James Barton, Samantha Bell, Steven Blackshaw, Amy Foley, Chris Foley and Zoe Hakin.
On Friday 7 November celebrate everything North East in this extra special edition of Mixtape: Now that’s what I call the North East! This November the Mixtapers will take songs by North East bands and artists. Audiences will be tested to see if they know their Sting from their Dire Straits and their Lake Poets for their Tea Pad Orchestras.

Reviews of past gigs
★★★★★
‘Innovative, imaginative, inventive, entertaining, that‘s an evening at a Mixtape event…The stage sparkled with creative talent and abounded with endless energy and dynamic delivery; most pieces were like a shot in the arm with an occasional calming, sedate one, so delivering a balanced evening’s entertainment. Laughter came thick and fast from the full, appreciative audience. The evening proved to me, yet again, the incredible amount of creative talent the area has.’
Remote Goat
‘The audience was caught up in an exhilarating whirlwind of quick-fire sets, which were beautifully paced throughout. Mixtape works really well. I had a brilliantly entertaining night and my companion left with the coveted Golden Mixtape, so all in all, a huge thumbs-up’
Alliterati Magazine
‘Theatre director Melanie Rashbrooke is onto a winner with this concept and the inclusion of both young writers and performers is one which pleases me; giving young people a platform to show off their talents results in a funny, clever, well thought out evening of new theatre.’
