BREAKDOWN
Oh, snap! The 90s are back! From the creators of the long-running hit Mixtape, comes Pump Up the Volume: A Musical 90s-Palooza. Seven strangers escape from the grind of two-thousand-now into the 1990s and relive the pimpin' pop culture, phat fads and stylin' fashion of the eclectic decade that's all that and a bag of chips. Join them as they grunge, swing, vogue, rave, do the Carlton and rediscover their voice in a world longing to connect on the precipice of a new millennium. Pump Up the Volume! It’s so money!
