It all started in 1958, when Move It went to number one in the UK charts, and Cliff Richard became Britain's answer to Elvis Presley. Over the next 40 years Sir Cliff went on to sell over 100 million records and became a true superstar, a living legend! Cliff - the Musical is set in the future, looking back in flashback form, with four performers playing Cliff at various times during his life. Great music from the Shadows is also featured.
It is the year 2020 and Cliff Richard, now Lord Cliff of Weybridge, is celebrating his 80th birthday at Keith Richard’s retirement home called The Joint. With his manservant, Bruce, formerly Bruce Welch of the Shadows, they party down Memory Lane. There are four different performers playing Cliff: the 50s wannabe Elvis , the 60s balladeer with the Austin Powers dress sense, the middle-of-the-road rocker of the 80s, and the reminiscing octogenarian. They manage to sing their way through many of the Cliff hits which have sold 100 million records over 40 years, and then, at the end, all four Cliffs throw their white boxer shorts into the screaming audience.

The critics were all happy to report that Sir Cliff himself was out of the country touring the Far East with his live show, and all expressed the hope this dreadful show would fold before he got back and would thus spare him the misery of having to watch it. It managed a 9 week run.
