The Advancement and Alumni Relations Unit presents
Simply the best is the tribute to end all tributes, as we honour the music of Elton John, Cher, Tina Turner, Meatloaf and Michael Jackson, some of the greatest musical icons of all time. All these legendary names performing number-one hits from the last five decades of pop and rock music on one stage in one show. The show has a 10 - piece cast, and the lead vocalists look, sound, and pay tribute to these legendary performers with passion, soul, and authenticity. Cher's hit songs include Believe, If I Found Someone, Turn Back Time, Walking in Memphis and many more. Crocodile Rock, Sad Songs, I'm Still Standing, Rocket Man and other songs by Elton John are also honoured.
Tina Turner's music captures the Queen of Rock's soul and passion with songs like Nutbush City Limits, Proud Mary, Simply the Best, Private Dancer, What’s Love Got to Do with It and many others. Through the hits Bat Out of Hell, You Took the Words Right Out of my Mouth, Paradise by The Dashboard Light, I’d Do Anything for Love, It’s All Coming Back to Me and others, the flamboyant Meatloaf is portrayed with all the glamour and splendour.
Michael Jackson's role is planned and performed with an eerie likeness to the pop icon. Billie Jean, Beat It, Black or White, Smooth Criminal and more hits are performed in a world-class show.
Simply the Best is about the Barnyard artists' showmanship, charisma, and passion as they pay tribute to every facet of these Icons. Witness this incredible cast in a tribute show that will leave you spellbound and begging for more!
