Following on the heels of “Vegas! The Show” and “iCandy Burlesque,” Planet Hollywood’s V Theater announced plans today to open the ’80s-themed musical “Legwarmers” on Sept. 20.

The new show promises to survey hit songs from the decade and a storyline in the vein of John Hughes’ classic films of the era, right down to the formula of “six friends and the night that changed their lives forever,” as a statement from the theater phrased it.

Strap on your shoulder pads and expect a slew of tunes ranging from one-hit wonders to New Wave to synthesizer-infused pop numbers.

“If you’re looking for a unique experience with songs you know and love, a story you can follow and enough fun to last your entire time in Vegas, 'Legwarmers' is for you,” said director and producer Sirc Michaels.

The family-friendly show will run nightly at V Theater in Planet Hollywood’s Miracle Mile Shops at 9 p.m. “Legwarmers” joins eight other productions currently running at the venue, including “Evil Dead the Musical” and “V the Ultimately Variety Show.”
