AS TOLD TO PAM FRANCIS. DAVID FISHER/SHUTTERSTOCK
For me, 2024 is exciting. Stock Aitken Waterman’s hit songs of the 80s, which inspired a generation and created pop stars including Kylie, Rick Astley and Bananarama, have taken on a new life in a specially created musical, I Should Be So Lucky, about a young couple in love. Mike Stock, Matt Aitken and I are record producers and song writers, so musical theatre is a very different medium for us.
Kylie has been involved from the start. She will digitally appear during the show as a specially created character. We were going to film her in 3D as a hologram, but that would have cost about £150 million, so I thought we’ll do a video. It will be cheaper. Kylie will never escape I Should Be So Lucky. It will be with her for the rest of her life.
