The classic 'VAMPIRES ROCKS' - The Final Countdown Tour!

FOR many, this time of year is fun and exciting, with gifts bought, trees trimmed and food shopping all planned. But for some, the struggle is on to come up with a great idea, a surprise gift or something just a little unusual... Fear not for help is at hand, why not buy your loved ones, friends, partner (or yourself) a ticket for the hardest rocking, funniest (and just a little bit naughty) show in Town; so take note that Steve Steinman's Vampires Rocks, is coming to the Liverpool Empire on 2 February 2015. The show, for those who have not been before, is set in the year 2030, centres on the undead Baron Von Rockula, the owner of the Live and Let Die nightclub, and his quest to find a new bride. Ably supported by the Lost Boys and his manservant, Bossley, the Baron (the uber talented Steve Steinman) rocks his way through hit after hit, with Meatloaf, AC/DC, Bonny Tyler, Rainbow, Guns 'n' Roses, Queen, Bon Jovi, and many more providing the vocal ammunition as he attempts to 1st woo and then capture the seemingly innocent Pandora.  It's easy to see why this show has been a sell out for years; pyrotechnics, some very sexy dancers and the best live rock show in the UK all go to create an unforgettable night. The show is a riot from start to finish; Steve's talent and humour making no 2 shows the same and, by the time the final curtain falls the audience will have spent most of the evening on their feet, dancing, singing along and having an amazing time.  So if you love rock music (or know someone who does), if you fancy an amazing evening of fun and laughter, and if you want to see this record breaking show on it's final tour, get over to the Box Office and get your tickets now; it'll be the best way to start a new year.
