Get ready to travel back in time and celebrate four incredible decades of CASE with The CASE of 1985, a spectacular musical event that pays tribute to one of the most iconic eras in pop culture history. This unforgettable show is part of the festivities marking CASE’s 40th anniversary — a milestone that deserves a celebration as vibrant, joyful, and powerful as the organisation itself.
Set in the heart of Hull at the beautiful Jubilee Central on King Edward Street, The CASE of 1985 is more than just a performance; it’s an immersive experience that blends music, nostalgia and community in one unforgettable evening. Featuring the dynamic Discovery on Tour cast, the show brings the spirit of 1985 to life with energy, heart and plenty of fun.
Audiences can expect a night filled with laughter, unforgettable music, and a heartfelt celebration of CASE’s ongoing work to empower, support and transform lives. From chart-topping anthems to beloved ’80s classics, the soundtrack of the show will have you singing along and dancing in your seat, reliving the magic of a decade that defined a generation.
Adding to the fun is an open invitation to embrace 1980s fashion. Whether it’s big hair, leg warmers, shoulder pads or anything neon, guests are encouraged to dress to impress — or delightfully distress — in their best retro looks. The more outrageous, the better! It’s all part of the immersive, playful atmosphere that makes this event so special.
The evening doesn’t stop at the music. Guests will have the chance to purchase nostalgic memorabilia and the official show programme, making it a perfect night out and a great way to support CASE’s continuing mission. Every moment of The CASE of 1985 has been designed to bring people together, to celebrate the past and to look forward to the future.
As CASE celebrates 40 years of dedication and service to the community, this show serves as a powerful reminder of how far the organisation has come — and how much joy it brings to those it supports. It’s a tribute not only to the 1980s, but to the people and passion that have shaped CASE’s legacy.
