ELECTRIC YOUTH began as a large musical theater ensemble and a trip to Vienna in 1998. Following a decade of European tours and domestic performances, ELECTRIC YOUTH has become the dynamic group of talented singer-dancers you see today.
Accompanied by a show band of world class musicians, Electric Youth has toured Austria, Italy and Slovenia eight times since 1998, most recently during the summer of 2010. They are currently preparing for several performances in 2011...stay tuned!
