Totally Gaga brings a full pop spectacle to Shanklin Theatre on the last Saturday in July, with Georgia Crandon fronting a live band and dancers through Lady Gaga's biggest hits. Bad Romance, Just Dance, Shallow, Poker Face, Born This Way and the rest land in one high-glamour evening rather than a stripped-back acoustic set.
The show leans into Gaga's theatrical side: costume, choreography and the sense that you are watching a stadium act scaled into a seaside theatre for one night. It works for groups who want a singalong without the commitment of a full festival weekend, and for teenagers who know every lyric but rarely get a proper live version on the island.
Tickets are £30 including the booking fee on the Shanklin Theatre system. A 7:30pm start leaves room for an early dinner in the old village or a walk down to the beach before you head in. Wear something you would not mind dancing in. More music on the Isle of Wight lists other July gigs if you are planning a theatre weekend.
