10. All or Nothing - The Musical
After three sell out tours and a successful West End run of All or Nothing - the Mod Musical, writer Carol Harrison and the show’s multi-talented cast, perform the new, All Or Nothing Experience Concert Show, celebrating the music of the iconic mod band Small Faces. 1965, a new phenomenon erupted on the streets of London; it was the essence of all that was cool... It was MOD. Small Faces were four charismatic young kids from East London; sharp, funny and streetwise, they encapsulated all that was Mod. Yet their story, as colorful as their music, is poignant and bittersweet. The All Or Nothing Experience charts and celebrates the band’s roller coaster journey through their unique and electrifying sound. Including the hits What’cha Gonna Do About It, Itchycoo Park, Lazy Sunday, Tin Soldier, All or Nothing, and many more.
