Bob Downe - 20 Golden Greats

Bob Downe known for his polyester outfits and huge laughs. Last night was the opening night at the Sydney Theatre.
Bob pranced around the stage like a small child, full of energy and fun. It was a show that made you feel exhausted just watching it. He interacts with the audience making you feel more like a conversation with Bob, rather than a straight show (not that it is that straight, if you get my drift!). This show had me laughing, singing, clapping and waving so if you are not feeling energetic this might not be for you!
I interviewed Bob on The Hubbub last Monday and he did tell me that you don't sweat in Polyester, well sorry Bob I didn't believe you, and now I have seen the show I know it wasn't true. Mind you with the amount of energy that Bob puts in I think if he had been naked (what a thought!) he would have been sweating!
20 Golden Greats is a show every loosely based on 20 songs, whether he actually sang 20 I have no idea. I can tell you he can sing, dance and entertain all at once, quite a feat. I can't tell you the names of any of the songs, one I was too busy laughing and another as he told me on Monday he would have to kill me! There is trivia in the show, so a chance to win some great prizes, I won't say more than that otherwise I will spoil it!
The audience last night loved the show so much we didn't want him to leave the stage, begging him for more, I must say the time flew by.
This is only a short run and will close on 26 May so get your tickets now, it is such a hoot!
