(Rowan
Bartlett, Darren King & Bryan Hiles)
Tie A
Knot In It (Vegas Baby!) is a fun original
three-hander comedy-cabaret set in one of the lesser known venues in Las Vegas.
Taking place from August 19 to 20 at Rhumbelow
Theatre at Tina’s Hotel in Kloof, it stars Rowan Bartlett (star of stage and
screen), Darren King (star of his own bathroom) and Bryan Hiles (disa.star)
three of Durban’s most accomplished musical theatre performers. They unite in a
chaotic and exuberant romp through the casinos and wedding chapels of Las Vegas
and the stars who have made them famous.
Hop in your gas-guzzling Mustang and cruise
along Route 66 to the Flamingo Lounge for sweet talk, slick moves and smooth
vocals. You can expect a cocktail of one-part Dean Martin, two-parts Sinatra, a
dash of Robbie Williams and a twist of Cher … served over crushed Celine Dion,
shaken, not stirred.
And remember... “What happens in Vegas,
stays in Vegas!” The production may include nudity (but only if you’re
lucky....)
The ever-iconic Vegas is known for three
things: fabulous over-the-top casinos; extraordinary live shows ... and kitsch
quick-fix weddings – all in the middle of an inaccessible, barren, sleepy
desert. Tie a Knot in It (Vegas Baby!)
is a pastiche of anecdotes, humour, risqué banter ... and some brilliant
era-defining songs.
King, Bartlett and Hiles have performed
together for more than a decade in Think Theatre’s Othello and Hamlet
(written by William Shakespeare); and have also performed in KickstArt’s Wizard of Oz together. All three are
multi-award-winning performers who have been in the city’s most acclaimed
productions over the past two decades. This is the first time they are working together
in a musical cabaret production.
Tie A
Knot In It (Vegas Baby!) is conceived, written and
directed by the cast. Performances take place on August 19 at 20h00 and August
20 at 14h00 and 18h30. (Venue opens 90 minutes before show for drinks)
