Classic Cirque Rock

Yay, we went the the Barnyard theatre at Suncoast this evening! What a treat!

I woke up this morning and realised I got scratch cards from our dinner at Mc Donalds. I did what i needed to do and got the options. Travel, family, entertainment were but a few. I chose entertainment and the option was Suncoast Barnyard 2 for 1 special.

Knowing my husband was not a great fan of theatre I was a little worried to suggest we go. I thought about it and suggested we go with Warrens parents- Trevor and Cheryl. They jumped to the chance to go. Warren was still a bit skeptical.

We all arranged what food we would take. I did a cold roast chicken, baby potatoes and some meilies. Cheryl did thin wors, boiled eggs, cheese and rolls. What a feast for 4 people!

We got there around 19:30 and made our way to the door. We were greeted by Calvin and his wonderful team. We were given our wristbands with our seat numbers G6-G9.

The show started at 20:00 sharpe. The ring man Themba January was every bit the host. Confident and talented.

There was a band that consisted of Jaydine Barron on the keyboard, Tumelo Tipenyani on bass, Kristo Zontag on drums and Jason Guile on Guitar. They were having the best time on stage! Talented guys doing what they love as a team. What more can you ask for?

The aerial artists Sam Kotze and Chivonne Naude, has the audience captivated with their jaw- dropping, breathe holding moves. These ladies work perfectly together as a team.

Vocals were phenominal! Themba January, Zoe Townsend and guitar singer Jason Guile took our breathes away singing songs like, Black-eyed Peas Tonights gonna be a good night, Queens Flash Gordon, The Greatest Showman plus many more! You just wanted to stand up and dance! A few ladies did just that…. On the tables! Oh what Fun! To be honest, personally Zoey sang Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance better then Lady Gaga herself!

Dancers Nick Vries, Hoze Jonas and Simone Youlton, helped get us in the mood to move our hips. Their perfectly choreagraphed moves were the perfect last piece of this puzzle.

It is clear to see each and everyone get on like a big, happy family. To get perfection like that comes with a lot of dedication, respect and hardwork.

Well done guys! The only thing I would change is my own mistake…. I want to get closer next time!

Enjoy your tour and give it horns!
