It’s
time to experience a time warp of school reunion party celebrations, when The
Barnyard Theatre at Gateway presents Best
Days Of Our Lives from March 11 to April 20. School’s out and your
headmistress will guide you through five decades’ school reunions (Classes of
’69, ’79, ’89, ’99 and ’09), celebrating the music and songs from the best days
of our lives.
The
Class of ’69 are the flower children from a generation that defined pop culture
with songs such as Time of the Season
and California Dreaming. The Class of
’69 broke all the rules and were definitely not just Another Brick in the Wall. They wore those crazy platform shoes
when mirror balls and disco music took the world by storm, creating a
never-ending party to the sounds of Freak
Out, Play That Funky Music, Stayin’ Alive, My Sharonna, Barracuda and let’s
not forget to stay at the YMCA. The
class of ’79 are music lovers who loved life and a party.
The
Class of ’89 remember the good times when we partied to songs like Walk Like An Egyptian, Girls Just Want To
Have Fun and Just Can’t Get Enough.
They were fun, daring and loved their music, especially when it came to those
heart-rendering ballads such as I Can’t
Fight This Feeling, I Want To Know What Love Is and Waiting For A Girl Like You.
The
Class of ’99 partied at the turn of the century – when we celebrated the
winning of the Rugby World Cup in 1995 and danced non-stop to our own South
African music artists such as Brenda Fassie, Johnny Clegg and Mandoza. The
Class of ’99 was innovative and always ready for a party, yet there were those
poignant moments like Wind Beneath My
Wings, A Moment Like This and One
Moment In Time.
Tickets R145
pp Wednesday to Saturday (R110 pp Tuesday night and R100 pp for Sunday matinee.
