Cringeworthy – 90s!
A high-octane explosion of ‘90s nostalgia!
Written and devised by Andrea Sanders
Produced by Beatgirl Productions
Starring Andrea Sanders, Devon Neiman, Jared Pallesen and Emma Katene
Following the success of Cringeworthy ’60s, ’70s and ’80s, this show pays homage to NZ music and culture in the last decade of the 20th century. Expect a ‘rad’ mix of local and international hits delivered with snappy dance moves, scintillating vocals and a generous dollop of cheesy comedy.
The 90s was a decade bursting with diverse musical genres, from boy bands and girl groups to MMMBop and hip hop, the swing revival (Mambo No. 5), country (Achy Breaky Heart), The Macarena and re-releases of iconic hits such as To Sir With Love, Silly Love Songs, Unchained Melody and Get Down on It (can you dig it??).
On the local scene, legends such as Crowded House, Dave Dobbyn, The Exponents, Margaret Urlich, Supergroove, True Bliss, Ardijah, South Side of Bombay and The Chills gave us heavenly pop hits that have become Kiwi classics.
In some ‘fly’ outfits, Cringeworthy – the ’90s packages the hits of the decade (including Can’t Touch This, Weather With You, Love Shack and How Bizarre) with some unforgettable fashion trends including flannel shirts, baggy jeans, tracksuits and chokers. These energetic styles are woven together with a witty narrative reflecting the lifestyle, news events and culture of the time – smelling like Teen Spirit!
What’s the time Mr Wolf? Time to grab your ticket to ride this retro rollercoaster! Nostalgia invites you to relive a decade that still resonates today. Get ready to party like its 1999!
