We got to Barnyard in drips and drabs and chatted and caught up and ate pizza and had drinks, (Lucy was temporarily worried that she was the only alcoholic left in the group). It was Amber's first trip to the Barnyard and she was just so glad it wasn't an outdoor event on hay bales. Amie and Claudia knew quite a few people, (it helps tone in the medical field- Charnel's still newish in the fraternity to know everyone). Carol and Lucy were just happy to get some alcohol, while Kerry, Amber and myself were catching up on life in the Bos.
And then Big Top Rock started...
The show was absolutely amazing and colourful. Acrobatics on a pole, on rope ropes, on material ropes... while songs are being pelted out by amazing artists... so beautifully coordinated together.
I'm always amazed at the rate of costume changing and this time I was even more amazed at the outfits they had on and still wondering how the acrobatic artists got into some of their (latex looking) costumes. We so nearly also had a full Monty show... so stunningly done with towels... and I'm sure some of us were hoping that somewhere along the way a towel edge would be missed, but alas, no...
My fave sessions were the singing of "C'est la vie" (lighting moving around and singer running around all over the stage to stay in the spotlight), ladies in gold being spun around on rope on ACDC's "thunderstruck", and Elton John on piano PLUS the nearly Full Monty.
From the smiles and the clapping and singing and the dancing along, I think the show was overall enjoyed by everyone.
