Head from the aisle to the isles and watch I Should Be So Lucky: The Stock Aitken Waterman Musical when this new musical spectacular comes to Milton Keynes Theatre from Tue 5 – Sat 9 Mar.
The wedding’s off, but the honeymoon is on! Head from the aisle to the isles in the official Stock Aitken Waterman musical featuring the soundtrack of a generation with music from pop royalty including Kylie Minogue (I Should Be So Lucky), Rick Astley (Never Gonna Give You Up), Jason Donovan (Too Many Broken Hearts) and Bananarama (Love In The First Degree).

Will they be together forever, or will he make her cry and say goodbye?
