UTS Backstage presents the Worldwide premiere of ’99 Again! written by Chris McKay and directed by Blake O’Brien.

Ahh the 90’s. The decade that gave us Britney Spears, the decade that allowed frosted tips to be a socially acceptable hairstyle and the decade that woke a generation of teenagers with “that scene” from Basic Instinct.

Ahh yes, the 90’s, what a time to be alive.

Jess, for her part, is living it up in the 90’s. Or what was left of it.

Set in real time* between 12:01am and 11:59pm January 1st 2000, ’99 Again! follows the lives of Jess, her sister Sally and her best friends Duncan and Claire as they and try to remember the shenanigans that happened before the turn of the century, whilst also trying to fix them.

Written by one of UTS Backstage’s original members Chris McKay, ’99 Again! is a raucous musical full of life, love and the Y2K conspiracy, set alongside some of the most iconic 90’s bangers to grace our ears and our hearts.

*Not actually set in real time.
