As The Hit Factory, Mike Stock, Matt Aitken and Pete Waterman dominated the ’80s pop scene by writing a slew of Number Ones singles – penning and producing 25 hits for the ex-Australian soap star-turned-singer, including her first chart-topper ‘I Should Be So Lucky’.
I Should Be So Lucky: The Scott Aitken Waterman Musical is written and directed by Debbie Isitt, who has woven all 25 songs they wrote for Minogue to tell the story of a young couple called Ella and Nathan who are set to be wed when things suddenly go awry. Minogue will “digitally appear throughout the show as a specially created character unique to the musical.”

“I’m thrilled to announce that I will be joining Stock Aitken Waterman in presenting the new musical, I Should Be So Lucky.” said Minogue. “It is the music that inspired a generation (plus my first five albums) so to have all the SAW hits in this original story will make for a compelling, funny and heartfelt show. Let’s enjoy the magic all over again!
Scott, Aitken and Waterman added: “[They] are thrilled to be a part of this wonderful new adventure. To see our songs take on a new life in the world of musical theater and work on a collaboration with Debbie Isitt and her talented team is so exciting and very special.”
