Bringing Back Bacharach
Will ‘Girl’ ever get to San José? Will ‘Other Girl’ ever go back to Tulsa? Will ‘Boy’ ever fall in love again? Find out in this heart-breakingly fun, wide-lapelled polyester pantsuit sing-along.
Been missing the king of cheese, that silver fox, that blue velvet dinner jacket? Fret no longer, the music of Bacharach is back! Perth's top jazz vocalists Libby Hammer and Ali Bodycoat along with the velour-voiced Rob Pring roll out one gem after another in this golden fried tribute to the king of 1960s easy-listening pop. Complete with a horn section and vocal harmonies, our divas and their incredible slacks-wearing band will perform timeless classics such as Say A Little Prayer For You, Always Something There To Remind Me and Close To You, so slip on your best lounge suit and get ready to schmooze the night away.
Bringing Back Bacharach is no ordinary music concert. Devotees of Bacharach’s music will be wistfully aware that many, if not most of Bacharach’s songs, completed by the incomparable lyrics of Hal David, deal with the ups and downs of relationships, with all their intoxicating highs and despairing lows. Accordingly, the able and ample cast of Bringing Back Bacharach seamlessly weave into the song list a Boy Meets Girl story, allowing for a few unexpected twists along the way. Will ‘Girl’ ever get to San José? Will ‘Other Girl’ ever go back to Tulsa? Will ‘Boy’ ever fall in love again? These and all of your romance questions will be answered in Bringing Back Bacharach. Wear your orange polyester pantsuit and bring your best singing voice. Bringing Back Bacharach is available in FOUR formats!
ONE HOUR Can you believe that in one hour (and 6 minutes) we can play 27 of the your favourite Bacharach hits, and take you from romance to heartbreak and back again (several times)? FRINGE-LENGTH There are 31 incredible Bacharach golden oldies squished into this show, but they have been condensed especially for busy executive. This show is a perfect bit- size for people who normally bite off more than they can chew. Delicious! THE FULL SHOW Two one-hour sets with a break in between (oh, the suspense!)… 31 full-length Bacharach radio pop doozies, and no skimping on the trumpet parts! Wa-oo! This show gives you time to make eye contact across a crowded bar, buy her a martini in the break and undo a couple of your top buttons, all in slo-mo. THE CHRISTMAS SHOW Yep, just when you thought it couldn’t get any egg- noggier, the Burt Team crack out the full show with an extra four gift-wrapped, snowy blowy, turkey lurkey Bacharach Christmas songs to give our timeless story a festive tinselly feel. For December AND July! Bringing Back Bacharach Song List
