A Beautiful Noise
The first show staged by this dynamic team is A Beautiful Noise - a long awaited tribute to country, folk and acoustic rock singers who have been making waves and influencing the music industry over many decades.
TOM and Ann Muller, owners of the Pretoria Barnyard for the past 15 years, are excited to announce that the venue will be changing its name to the Rockwood Theatre as of June 1.
They will also be staging their own productions, the first being A Beautiful Noise, from June 1 to July 30.
Rockwood Theatre’s shows as from June 2017 will be produced and directed by the seasoned performer Andrew Webster.
Andrew brings a wealth of experience spanning 25 years, from musical theatre to TV and film.
The first show to be staged by this dynamic team is A Beautiful Noise – a long-awaited tribute to country, folk and acoustic rock singers who have been making waves and influencing the music industry over many decades.
For nearly a century, this genre of music has been topping charts, not only in America, but globally, making household names out of artists such as John Denver, Neil Diamond, The Eagles, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Cat Stevens, Rodriguez, Dolly Parton, CCR, Lumineers, Fleetwood Mac, Simon and Garfunkel, Mumford & Sons and Shania Twain.
The producers of this brand-new show are also proud to recognise the part country music has played in influencing many Afrikaans artists, including Juanita du Plessis and Die Campbells.
The cast includes vocalists such as the ever-popular Vernon Barnard of The Voice SA fame alongside Kieran Renny, Nadine Sisam, Stephan Nel and Candice Kennedy.
They will get the audience singing and clapping along to all their favourites such as Man, I Feel like a Woman, You’re Still The One, I Will Always Love You, I Wonder, Have you Ever Seen The Rain, The Sound of Silence, I Will Wait For You, Hallelujah, Islands in the Stream, Country Roads and Rooi Rok Bokkie.
Also strongly featured will be the instantly recognisable Neil Diamond’s Beautiful Noise and Sweet Caroline as well as Kid Rock’s All Summer Long and Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Sweet Home Alabama.
Rockwood Theatre still has it delicious pizzas, platters and light meals available for purchase. Alternatively, patrons can bring their own picnic baskets. The venue encourages patrons to pre-order meals when making their bookings. Platters need to be ordered at least 48 hours in advance. All drinks need to be purchased at the venue.
Another exciting addition at Rockwood Theatre is that on Friday and Saturday evenings, the foyer area will transform into a dance area with couches and cocktail tables. A DJ will commence playing straight after the show until late.
Performances: Thursdays to Saturdays at 8pm and Sundays at 2pm. Doors open 90 minutes prior to showtime. Wednesdays to Fridays at 6.30pm and Sundays at 12.30pm.
