The crowd lapped up every note and absolutely loved the singers and dancers that accompanied those unforgettable classic tunes.
And to think, they nearly didn’t make it!
Just as the band bus was happily humming along the highway north to Taree, fate intervened and the gear box cracked up at the half way mark.
The bus was forced to travel at 40km an hour from there on in and their arrival in Taree was very delayed.
Undeterred, the wonderful staff of the Manning Entertainment Centre pulled together as a great team to deal with the unexpected.
The techs readied everything so that the band could spring straight into a sound check when they arrived, the Front of House team make sure all arriving patrons were kept informed, and the volunteers did a sterling job of attending to patrons needing assistance after the extended wait for the show.
The show went up 30 minutes later than scheduled, and everyone loved it!
Congrats to the indefatigable performers who had very little time to prepare once they arrived – it certainly didn’t show onstage!
I’m reserving my biggest thanks to the very patient and understanding audience members, some of whom had arrived quite early, who were so good humoured about the unforeseen change in curtain time.
With everyone working together, the night was a great success!
David Strassman returns with Chuck, TedE and more!
David Strassman is returning with his stable of hilarious “friends’ for his great new show “iTedE”
It’s about Chucking time…Side-splitting comedy! An hilarious all-new show!
Strasso’s screwed. He can’t get Chuck and Ted E. off their iPhones. They’re lost to Snapchat, Instagram and Facebook. The battle is on!
And in an amazing live-show breakthrough, Strasso throws his voice to five puppets at once.
It’s a riotously unbelievable, six-way comedy routine. You seriously won’t believe it!
Ted is cuter than ever and Chuck just as evil. Sid the Beaver cracks a heap of depraved jokes.
And you won’t believe surprise guest, Buttons, the very pissed clown. You'll cack yourself!
The best night out you’ll have in long time!
