Murder. Mayhem. Monsters. Bubbles. Balloons. Baby dolls. Giant spiders. American Presidents. Gang fights. A working guillotine. Welcome to the wonderfully warped world of Alice Cooper.

This November, The Australian Alice Cooper Show presents Welcome To My Nightmare, a two-hour theatrical rock spectacular celebrating one of the most innovative and influential artists in music history.

While tribute acts have faithfully recreated everyone from Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd to Elvis Presley, large-scale Alice Cooper productions remain a rarity in Australia. That's partly because Alice's music was never just about the songs. It was about creating a complete theatrical experience, drawing inspiration from vaudeville, horror films, television, comic books and pure rock 'n' roll excess.

Fronted by South Australian performer Dave Hudson, the production aims to capture the excitement, danger and unpredictability that made the original Alice Cooper Band one of the most talked-about live acts of the 1970s. And yes, determined to recreate the spectacle as authentically as possible, the Australian Alice Cooper Show commissioned the construction of a full-scale working guillotine right here in South Australia!

Featuring a cast of some of Adelaide's finest musicians, Welcome To My Nightmare delivers two hours of platinum-selling classic rock anthems, theatrical spectacle and pure entertainment.

For those who remember the golden age of shock rock, and for those discovering it for the first time, the nightmare is about to begin.
