1970’s Musical Tribute Show

From Elton John to Tina Turner – we are going back to the 70’s baby...

The 1970s will probably best be remembered for rock and disco music, hippies, bell-bottomed jeans, platform shoes, larva lamps and the cold war.  Iconic musicals from the period such as The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Grease and Saturday Night Fever became cult classics, and audience ratings rocketed for television shows such as The Brady Bunch and Charlie’s Angels, while the entire world wanted to know who shot JR in Dallace.

Now in a tribute to the era, musical director Mike McCullagh will present Station 70 at GrandWest’s Roxy Revue between 30 July and 18 September, Wednesday through to Saturday.

For the show the stage is transformed into a radio station playing 70s music with assistance from a live, nine-piece band.  News, commentary, calls from listeners and even quirky comical ads epitomising the era will complete the radio concept.

The talented cast of Capetonians includes well known vocalists Lucy Holgate, Riaan Corneluis and Keenan Arrison who also plays the role of radio DJ. The rhythm section is led by Kyle Petersen on keyboards, Neil Peyton, Warren Lomberg and Lorenzo Bastiaan on guitar, Ricardo Philander on drums and Morgan King on Sax. Backing vocals are provided by Leani Ekermans.

The audience is welcome to join in the singing of tracks such as Joy to the World, Nut Bush City Limits, Kung Fu Fighting, Stayin’ Alive and many more from artists such as Michael Jackson, Queen, Abba, Earth Wind and Fire, The Stylistics, the Four Seasons and many others.
