What the FUNK? 50-Up Circus has created a high-energy circus cabaret celebrating the genre-hoping soundtrack of the 1970s. Do yourself a favour.
What the FUNK? Do yourself a favour.There’s a brand-new sensation hitting town, and baby... it’s got more sparkle than a Sherbet jumpsuit and more attitude than a Countdown top ten showdown.50-Up:The Rewind is a rip-roaring circus cabaret that swings, spins and struts its way through the unforgettable soundtrack of the ‘70s, from disco and glam rock to punk and pub rock to funk. It’s fast, flashy and just a little bit outrageous.And here’s the real kicker: every performer in the show is aged 50 and over.That’s right. While some folks are settling into slippers and early nights, this lot are climbing into the air, hanging upside down and proving that getting older doesn’t mean slowing down.Inspired by the iconic Countdown, 50-Up:The Rewind captures the magic of the Sunday night ritual that had Australia glued to their tellies at 6 o’clock sharp. The music! The fashion! The awkward interviews! The countdown clock! It’s all here, reimagined through aerials, acrobatics and just enough nostalgia that even Molly Meldrum would say, “Do yourself a favour!”But this isn’t just a trip down memory lane. Backed by the feel-good power of music, movement and connection, 50-Up:The Rewind is a celebration of reinvention, rebellion and refusing to act your age.So, dust off the sequins, warm up those vocal cords and get ready to rewind your favourite mix-tape. The '70s are back, and they’ve still got plenty of kick left in them.
