Lockdown has brought us many things, love being one of them. The rise of internet dating is on an all-time high. Now that restrictions have officially ended and you can socialise face-to-face, many people are meeting their significant other in-person for the very first time.
We all know that when it comes to generation Z, chivalry –in the traditional form is dead. No one wants flowers or chocolates anymore, and who has the money for a fancy five-star meal (as nice as that sounds) at the moment? We’ve just come out of a lockdown. Oh no, the new generation wants excitement, alternative, and overall easy-going fun.
Which is why Theatres Online have a selection of alternative shows happening this year perfect for that first official post-lockdown date night.
The Bon Jovi Experience.
It might not sound like it’s one of the most romantic things to do, but as Bon Jovi once sang ‘love drove me crazy, baby’. Nothing quite says romance than matching voice cracks and sore throats from belting out lyrics to all those fan favourite Bon Jovi classics. And can we just say, this world-class tribute band is certified as the most authentic Bon Jovi Tribute act on earth, by Jon Bon Jovi himself!
