Back to the Eighties is a strange variation on the Jukebox Musical by Neil Gooding where instead of using all songs from one band, only songs from one decade (the 80s) are used. The musical focuses on the senior year of fictional American high school William Ocean High, particularly an uncool kid named Corey Palmer with a crush on popular girl Tiffany Houston, a hatred of popular guy Michael Feldman and rather unfair feelings of superiority towards loveable nerd Feargal McFerrin III.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The show is subtitled "The Totally Awesome Musical", and it doesn't really get any less cheesy from that point on...

The Cloud Cuckoolander Was Right: Feargal kept spotting out theories that the internet would one day reinvent the world, and come present day, he was right.

BSoD Song

comment
BSoD Song: "Centerfold", for Mr Cocker; per the script directions, it verges on a Sanity Slippage Song. "You Give Love A Bad Name (Reprise)" to a lesser extent.

Decoy Protagonist: Corey Jnr., arguably. We know he grows into Corey Snr., but we don't see it happen; he remains a relatively unchanging Flat Character throughout the show. The true protagonists of the show are arguably Feargal and Mr Cocker; unlike pretty much everyone else, they experience actual Character Development.

Ambiguously Gay: Alf Bueller is described as "destined to remain a bachelor" and also blows Corey a kiss at one point. The ambiguity is arguably because Alf is just so weird that that might be what's keeping him single.
