Punk musical hits the UK

The musical based on the songs of The Ramones, 'Gabba Gabba Hey! - A Punk-Rock Musical', is to be performed in the UK.

The show takes place at London KOKO from July 31 to August 5.

Described as "a postmodern fairy tale about the redeeming power of love", the punk musical features eighteen hits, including 'I Wanna Be Sedated', 'Beat On The Brat' and 'Blitzkrieg Bop'.

Only surviving Ramone and Musical Director, Tommy, will appear every night.

Special guests have also been announced, including Hugh Cornwell, Angela Bowie and former Clash guitarist Nick Sheppard.
