Las Vegas has an undeniable magnetic attraction and nobody
is exempt. Even the world’s most iconic and influential performers go there to
play, party and perform … and The Barnyard Theatre at Gateway celebrates these
music legends in one action-packed show, Viva
Las Vegas! The show is set to run through the festive season and into the
New Year.
A spectacular metropolis in the Nevada desert, Las Vegas is
the unlikely entertainment capital of the world. It has evolved to become an
unspoken rite of passage for the world’s most acclaimed performers to make the
pilgrim there, like Elvis who had 837 consecutive sellout from 1969 four years
after starring in the iconic film Viva Las Vegas.
The show features divas such as Celine Dion, Cher, Britney
Spears, Dianna Ross and Jennifer Lopez; sex symbols such as Tom Jones and Rod
Stewart; rockers such as ZZ Top and Santana; icons such as Elvis Presley, Elton
John and Michael Jackson; and crooners such as Dean Martin, Michael Bublé and
ol’ blue eyes himself, Frank Sinatra. There are also some surprise tributes to
Tony Bennett, Lady Gaga and The Carpenters.
Songs included in this party production include Get The Party Started, I’m Coming Out, Sex
Bomb, Let’s Get Loud, The Lady Is A Tramp, Power Of Love, Beat It, A Little
Less Conversation and Uptown Funk.
The cast for this glittering show is made up of Gavin Hayze,
Ofentse Mokhuane, Stephanie Braxton and Chrystal Worship on vocals, Dene
Potgieter on guitar, Calli Thomson on keyboards, Nico Badenhorst on bass guitar
and Paul Cassells on drums. It wouldn’t be a Vegas show without dancers and
taking these credits are Duanne Joaquim and Jemma Shankland.
Whether it be a staff function, family outing or festive
season celebration, the glitz and glamour of Vegas provides the perfect
backdrop to dress up and let your hair down! To accommodate festive season
revelry, additional lunch-time shows (starting at 13h30) have been added on November
13 and 27 as well as December 3, 4, 10, 11, 14 and 15.
The Barnyard Theatre at Gateway will again stage its popular
Christmas Eve (December 24 - tickets R155) and New Year’s Eve (December 31 starting
at 21h00 - tickets R340) shows.
Viva Las Vegas! is
set to run until January 10, 2016. Tickets R155 pp from Wednesday to Saturday, (R120
pp on Tuesday nights and R110 pp for Sunday matinees). For bookings and enquiries,
