Review An evening treat for me – and such a treat. Amazingly talented performers. Loved the show, even tho’ my limited knowledge of pop music meant that I didn’t get all the references. The show is a pop culture parody that consists of musical and dramatic rearrangement of well-known pop songs. The very funny Bee Gees take off was the icing on a luscious cake. They obviously have a huge cult following – this was good and bad, as I don’t really like [to me inane] superficial screaming before the artists have even started their performance. For me, the duo was far more talented than many of their audience gave them the credit for. If artists “mess around” with a musical genres (especially one which has such an enormous popular appeal) they have to be exceptionally good and what they’re doing. And they are! |
Suitable / ready for rural touring? | No – too many technical requirements and much too large a show. Tho’ I have since looked them up on You Tube and have seen footage of them performing in a small theatre, with a baby grant and no screen projection or big lighting effects - which the Udderbelly venue provided |
Would you book them ? | no |
Would it be worth pursuing this company to consider work in the future? | no |
Any other comments Extraneous noises from the evening crowd outside the Udderbelly was distracting. |
