(Erin
Fourie)
Remember the big hair, big shoulders, big
music, big egos? The Just Theatre group in Pietermaritzburg brings you their
20th annual Dive show, this time celebrating the 80s!
The I
Heart the 80s cast of eight, all of whom have made their mark on the local
music scene, as well as been involved in many previous shows , consists of Ryan
Calder, Erin Fourie, Sandra Styles, Helen Vermaak, Daniel Rossouw, Tammy
Calder, Katherine McClelland and Brandon Bosch.
These fabulous musicians and singers look
back at the songs and singers that made the 1980’s: the anthems, the power
ballads, the boy bands and girl bands, the serious musicians, the movies and
the musicals.
Who will ever forget icons such as Bryan
Adams, Police, Bruce Springsteen, Tina Turner, The Eurythmics, Alannah Myles,
Belinda Carlisle, Alison Moyet, Stevie Wonder, Whitney Houston, George Michael
and so many more?
The show is directed by Peter Mitchell and jam
packed with numbers that rocked the decade, some iconic, some surprising. For a
night of toe-tapping, thigh-slapping, singalong tunes, this is going to be a
highlight.
Once again, whose dislike of 80’s music
makes this an ordeal for him, the show is just the thing for all you 60’s and
70’s babies!
I
Heart the 80s runs in the Hexagon Theatre on the UKZN
Pietermaritzburg campus from December 7 to 15 at 19h00 for 19h30.
Tickets R100 booked through email: hexagon@ukzn.ac.za
This is a picnic evening: take your food,
but no drinks as there is a cash bar. Tables seat 10, but patrons may book for
less.
