Heart the 80s is back at the Hexagon again after
breaking Dive box office records in December!
Remember the big hair, big shoulders, big
music, big egos? The Just Theatre group brings you their 20th annual Dive show,
this time celebrating the 80’s!
The 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. All
brilliantly accompanied by top notch guitarists Calder and Rossouw.
These popular 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 jam packed with numbers that
rocked the decade, some iconic, some surprising. For a night of toe tapping,
thigh slapping, singalong (not too loudly!) tunes, this is going to be a
highlight.
Once again directed by Peter Mitchell,
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!
The show takes place at the Hexagon Dive on the UKZN Pietermaritzburg campus on February 9 at 19h00 for 19h30. Tickets R120. Booking: hexagon@ukzn.ac.za
Picnic evening: bring your food, but no
drinks as there is a cash bar. Tables seat 10, but you may book for less.
(If
you can’t make this performance, look out for the two shows at The Knoll
Historic Guest Farm on Valentine’s Day and February 16. Check out Just Theatre
