20th Century Boy

20th Century Boy, the musical inspired by the life of Marc Bolan, explodes onto the Belgrade’s Main Stage this September, coinciding with the 35th anniversary of the iconic star’s death.

Featuring some of the greatest rock songs ever written, 20th Century Boy is a celebration of the life of Marc Bolan and his band T. Rex, and stars some of the greatest singers and dancers from London’s West End.

Rocker, poet, electric warrior, king of glam, godfather of punk, Marc Bolan tried many styles on for size in his search to become a superstar. Before his tragic death in 1977, a few days short of his 30th Birthday, Bolan lived life at breakneck speed, creating a series of iconic images, a string of number one hits and an army of obsessive fans. This dynamic new musical looks behind the glitter and the sequins to discover what drove the “bard of Hackney” to become “bigger than Elvis”.

The show will be packed with all of T. Rex’s ’70s hits, including Ride a White Swan, Metal Guru, Get It On, I Love to Boogie, Children of the Revolution, and of course the title track 20th Century Boy.

This is a bigger, bolder, full scale production following on from the sell-out success of the original 20th Century Boy at the New Wolsey Theatre Ipswich. Watch the trailer below, created for the New Wolsey production, to find out more.
