The Bus That Rocks
Based in Brisbane
About this act
The premise is a busload of legends touring Australia, each convinced they are the best act on board. Over two and a half hours you get The Turtles, the Beach Boys, Johnny Cash, The Diamonds, Connie Francis, Sandie Shaw, Frank Ifield, Petula Clark, Nancy Sinatra, Johnny O'Keefe and Dusty Springfield, and that is only the first half. After the break it is Sonny and Cher, Buddy Holly, Del Shannon, Billy Thorpe, k.d. lang, Roy Orbison, Demis Roussos and the Righteous Brothers. Costumes, characters, comedy and a lot of vocal work. Built for an audience that lived through the 60s, 70s and 80s and would like to hear all three back.
