The program boasts a selection of instantly recognisable crowd-pleasers, from Madonna and Cyndi Lauper to Queen and Bonnie Tyler.
“The music of the 1980s seems to have an almost universal appeal.
“Whether you were burning up the dancefloor in the 80s, or were not even born yet, the songs of Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, Queen, Bonnie Tyler are instant crowd favourites, at the karaoke machine, in the nightclubs, at the pub, and, for one night only, on stage with Sydney Gay & Lesbian Choir. ,” said Majsay.
More than just a concert, “Back to the 80s” celebrates the SGLC’s rich history as a vibrant force within Sydney’s LGBTQI community.
