Rock out at the ultimate 90’s party
The 90's decade is jam-packed with a variety of pop, rock, alternative, old school and a collection of one-hit wonders!
The Barnyard Theatre at Gateway will celebrate the venue’s 100th major production with a trip back to the end of the 20th century, when it stages 90’s Mania from March 8 to April 17.
This show is a double celebration of this milestone and a cool decade filled with a variety of pop, rock, alternative, old school and a collection of one-hit wonders!
Featuring an 11-piece cast of singers, dancers and musicians, 90’s Mania is a blast from the past that saw an emergence of new iconic bands such as Nirvana, The Counting Crows, Eagle-Eye Cherry and many more.
A new selection of rock and pop divas such as Alanis Morissette, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion and Gloria Estefan; and a new male rockers such as Robbie Williams, Lenny Kravitz and Ricky Martin appeared on the scene.
The 90’s hip-hop scene achieved popularity with Coolio and Will Smith, while the boy and all-girl groups appeared such as The Spice Girls, Destiny’s Child, Backstreet Boys, Westlife, Boyz II Men and NSYNC who all dominated the pop charts. The old school rockers also made their mark with groups such as Genesis, Mike and The Mechanics, Roxette, and UB40; while South African music took to the world stage with names such as Brenda Fassie, Mandoza and Vicky Sampson’s hit song African Dream, which celebrated the birth of a new South Africa in 1994.
The energetic cast are: Graeme Wicks, Zak Toerien, Tarquinn Whitebooi, Jae Green and Martine Loxton on vocals; with Nic Rush on guitar and vocals, Calli Thomson on keyboards, Nico Badenhorst on bass guitar, Michael Ramisimong on drums, and Jemma Shankland dancing.
Tickets are R155 per person from Wednesday to Saturday, with discounted specials of R120 per person every Tuesday night and R110 per person for the Sunday matinee show.
