BUCKLE up and get ready for take-off as Rocking the Globe opens at The Barnyard Theatre on Friday, 6 November. The show promises to have the audience rocking all over the world to 15 music destinations.
The musical journey starts in Sweden with the awesome pop sounds of Roxette continuing on to Jamaica for the reggae sounds of Bob Marley.
“The diversity of Rocking the Globe is what this show is all about as it pays tribute to France’s greatest singing sensation Èdith Piaf, performed with such passion and gusto that this performance alone is worth the show ticket,” said communications manager, Kelly Graham.
“Just when the audience thinks the show could not get any better, the cast change direction to a new destination to celebrate the sounds of Spain with a blazing tribute to the Gipsy Kings and a good old clap along to Greece’s national party anthem, Zorba the Greek,” said Graham.
Greece’s national party anthem is followed by a jolly encounter with Her Majesty the Queen of England who introduces a multitude of English pop icons, such as The Spice Girls, Annie Lennox, George Michael, Ed Sheeran and Def Leppard.
“There’s no time to relax with an encounter with the Land Down Under and Who Can It Be Now by Australian rockers – Men at Work; followed by the seducing, smooth and sultry sounds of Italy with the classic Il Mondo,” said Graham.
“The USA is the birthplace of rock and roll and the show then criss-crosses the States from Los Angeles to New York with outrageous icons, including Jimi Hendrix, Bruce Springsteen, MC Hammer, Lady Gaga and Bon Jovi,” explained Graham.
Touching down in South Africa leads to a celebration of the country’s national stars who produced their very own brand of music with tributes to Mango Groove, Savuka, TKZee and a surprise tribute to the very popular Jerusalema byMaster KG – bringing this high-flying music journey to a rocking climax. Rocking the Globe is a party for everyone and will have you rocking from the first number to the final anthem.
Show times are Friday to Sunday at this stage and tickets cost R195 per person with discounts available for children and pensioners on Sundays.
