They were the hottest thing in the eighties, the pin-up boys on every teenage girl’s wall. And with hits like “Tough Titties” and “BoyTown”, they cemented their reputation as the biggest boy band on the planet. Now two decades later, BoyTown are back – they may be the Old Kids on the Block and a bit Out of Synch, but these Boys to Men are ready to suck in the gut, put on the pastels and get those middle aged women crying for more!
Writing
Mick Molloy's self-loathing comedy hits weirdly hard.
Costume
Pastel nightmares that scream 1987 and desperation.
Practical Effects
The 'Tough Titties' choreography is weaponized secondhand embarrassment.
Director
Kevin Carlin
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The 'BoyTown' songs were written by actual Australian comedy musicians, and 'Tough Titties' briefly charted ironically.
This is basically a poison pen letter to the real 80s Australian boy band phenomenon — think Menudo with less dignity and more VB.
