| Simply the Best Talent presents RELIVE the Music 50'S & 60'S Rock N’ Roll @ Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre A brand new one of a kind show, that takes the audience through chronological Music History, Trivia & Memories of the 50’s & 60’s. You will likely learn many things you never knew about these artists. You will see an energetic live band and amazing front singers transforming and re-living thru two decades of costumes, trends, dances with video imagery and voiceovers in the background. The audience will see silhouettes of a band onstage, video will roll in the background with voice narrating trivia prior to each song. We sorted through 20 years of over a thousand songs into a one - 100-minute show. The main criteria were to trim it to hit songs that are still relevant and memorable still to this day. We made our pick of songs that we feel will never get old. We encourage the audience to come dressed in the 50’s or 60’s outfit they most loved. If there are any local dance groups that can dance 50’s style let us know we might get them onstage. Hope to see you cheering for your favorite years of music.See more www.ReliveTheMusic.ca |
