Best musical hits!The Barnyard Theatre is ready to take you on a funky, hip and trendy musical journey through the 80’s.
The evening is centred around a school reunion and your host, the head mistress, will take you through this fun musical journey.
Anything can happen in this show so be prepared for the decade that brought you everything from Boy George to Guns and Roses to the Eurythmics.
This decade produced synth pop bands such as Depeche Mode and A-ha and rock chick bands with outrageous names like The Bangles!
The 80’s was the decade of new technology that saw the launching of MTV, the video machine, the fax machine and was the era of capitalism when Thatcher and Reagan ruled the world.
Then there were the movies with the most awesome theme songs like Danger Zone, St Elmos Fire, Take my breath away, Flash Gordon, Xanadu and Ghost Busters and of course lets not forget that fabulous TV series Dallas with its dramatic theme song.
When we look back at this exciting decade we also had the shock factor in the pop industry with bands like Guns and Roses with Paradise City, Sweet Child of mine and the over the top Frankie goes to Hollywood with their supremely controversial Relax!
