Centrestage celebrates its 25th birthday with a cracking new feel-good show, The Songs which ROCKED our World, set to run at the Hellenic Hall from October 25 to 28.
The eight-piece line-up introduces extraordinary new talent as the hot guitar guru in town, Dylan du Plessis, and multi-instrumentalist supremo, Tiago Vital, join the all-star line-up.
Gino Fabbri mixes comedy and drumming pyrotechnics, and Wayne Kallis fronts with his classic rock renditions, while drummer Russel Sneyd joins Gino for a double drum spectacle.
Tara-Jane Stern will bring her up-front power and glamour to the fore. Stalwart keyboard whizz, Khanya Matomela, also joins vocalist, Thuba Myeki, to complete the dynamic line-up of popular favourites.
The Songs which ROCKED our World – The Super-Lekker Summer Tour pays tribute to our courageous spirit and celebrates the will to survive and overcome against the odds. The show is about grabbing life by the horns once more, picking yourself up, lifting your clutch and re-engaging your engine.
Inspiring anthemic songs will entice the audience to sing along.
The show answers the questions “What role have the icons played on the course of rock n roll?” and “Who has had the greatest influence?” Is this Elvis, Freddy Mercury, The Beach Boys, Beatles, The Rolling Stones, U2 or ABBA, Michael Jackson, Amy Winehouse, Bruno Mars, Taylor Swift or Ed Sheeran?
Gino introduces two brand new comedy characters and the band gets the audience to sing-along in the most power-packed participation medley ever!
Two drum kits onstage will show-case drumming spectacle songs such as Kate Bush’s Running Up that Hill, Tusk and In the Air Tonight, and anthems such as Stand By Me, Fight Song, Shout, Girl on Fire, Roar, Don’t Stop Believing, Don’t Stop Me Now and We are The Champions will all get the blood flowing again!
The Hellenic Hall provides a chairs-around-tables cabaret environment, and patrons are permitted to bring along picnic baskets containing food only, as a bar will be run in aid of Collegiate.
A food truck will also be available.
The Tuesday, October 25, performance will be in aid of Animal Welfare and the Wednesday, October 26, one will be a Collegiate High fund-raiser.
Tickets for the Tuesday to Thursday performances cost R240/R220 for eight or more and R250/R230 for the Friday show, and can be booked through Centrestage by contacting Wendy at 082 661 6921.
The show will also be staged at the Guild Theatre from November 14 to 16. Tickets for these performances are available through Computicket.
