Eurobeat - Almost Eurovision
Playhouse Theatre, 10-25 July 2009
Set in beautiful Bosnia Herzegovina and hosted by popular children’s morning television presenter Sergei and Olympic pole vaulter/lifestyle program hostess/cabaret performer Boyka, EUROBEAT - ALMOST EUROVISION not only captured all the glamour, excitement and bewilderment that is the Eurovision Song Contest, but it also gave Hobart audiences the chance to vote for their favourite acts using their phones – deciding the eventual champion at every performance!
