Imagine Elton, Tina, Rod, Michael and Madonna on one stage, in one show, singing the number one hits from the last six decades of pop music. These solo artists have dominated the charts to such a degree over the last 40 years, that The Barnyard felt it was essential to stage a special tribute to them!

The show features a ten-piece cast with Tarryn Hudson as Madonna, Ramaine Barreiro-Lloyd as Tina Turner, James Dobson as Elton John, Tian Rautenbach as Rod Stewart, and Ernie B as Michael Jackson.
Patrons are alerted to dust off their dancing shoes and prepare for numbers like Billie Jean, Thriller, Crocodile Rock, Your Song and Simply The Best as well as Proud Mary, Maggie May, Sailing, Like A Virgin and Material Girl.
