LANCASTER, PA — Step into pure 1980s glory — turned all the way up. From June 13–29, 2025, Prima

Theatre presents 80s by Request: LIVE!, an original and electrifying concert experience where the audience

curates the soundtrack. It’s immersive. It’s unpredictable. And it’s powered by the decade’s most unforgettable

hits.

This is no ordinary tribute show. Think: neon-drenched nightclub meets live jukebox. The audience helps

shape the setlist every night, choosing from a lineup of legendary artists like Madonna, Journey, Whitney,

and Michael Jackson. Every performance is unique — and fueled by crowd energy.

THE TALENT BEHIND THE TEASED HAIR

This standout cast is stacked with powerhouse performers and industry standouts:

● Jay Poff, a veteran of rock ‘n’ roll stage roles and most recently featured in Prima’s Illumination, brings

charisma and vocal fire.

● Jaden Dominique, fresh from an Off-Broadway run and a fan favorite from Queen + Journey, returns

with unmatched soul and stage command.

● Lizzie Plakans, a dynamic vocalist and international superstar model returns from Morocco, bringing

world-class flair and magnetic stage presence. She turns up the volume after her breakout performance

in Prima’s Girl Group Greats.

These powerhouse singers, backed by a sizzling live band, are delivering high-octane performances that

capture the iconic sound and feel of the 80s with bold, contemporary flair.
