(LAMBERTVILLE, NJ) -- Roxey Ballet launched its first weekend of Journey Back to the 80s to tremendous success, playing to packed audiences who showed up ready to celebrate. From neon outfits and leg warmers to electrifying choreography and rocking 80s hits, the energy in the theater was undeniable. Audience members danced in their seats, sang along to iconic favorites, and left smiling after a totally tubular night of nostalgia and high-octane performance.

Next up, the company heads to Music Mountain Theatre in Lambertville, NJ on March 31st for two performances in one exciting day. A special 10:00am relaxed matinee offers a welcoming, sensory-friendly environment that is perfect for children, seniors, and community groups — with group rates available. The celebration continues with a full evening performance at 7:00pm, bringing all the vibrant music, bold fashion, and dynamic dancing back to the stage.

Tickets are available for purchase online. Music Mountain Theatre is located at 1483 NJ 179 in Lambertville, New Jersey.

Patrons are encouraged to arrive early and stop by the Totally Tubular Bar before the show, or introduce the 80s to the next generation at the Little Rockstar Party, where kids can decorate their own T-shirts and get into the retro spirit prior to curtain.

Whether you lived through the decade or are discovering it for the first time, Journey Back to the 80s is guaranteed to leave audiences on their feet and smiling.
