"BACK TO THE SEVENTIES"
James Marais and Monique Cassells' new oldies tribute show, “Back To The Seventies – ‘70s Tribute” features memorable songs by great artists from the diverse decade of the 1970s. Featuring the Doobie Brothers, Smokie, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Bachman Turner Overdrive, Stealers Wheel, ABBA, Neil Diamond, the Carpenters, Elvis Presley, Queen, Cliff Richard, and more. As with all their tribute shows, you can expect a mini-theatrical experience, featuring the dynamic vocal and visual performances of James and Monique, alternating as a duo and individual performers, who also do multiple costume changes throughout.
James and Monique are renowned for their oldies tribute shows, which have brought them sold-out attendances at countless venues at which they have performed together since 2009. Their productions previously successfully performed at The Drama Factory include the ever-popular “Oldies But Goldies”, “From Memphis To Las Vegas: An Elvis Presley Tribute”, “The 70s Vs ‘80s Tribute”, “Old School Country Legends Tribute” and “A Trip Down Memory Lane”.
Monique is a very accomplished vocalist, having performed many different genres of music over the years, including rock ‘n roll, rock, pop, country, blues, ballads and even light classical. She made her television debut on SABC 2’s “Musiek Roulette” in May 2018. Monique, has gained widespread praise for her powerhouse voice and performances, and she continues to showcase her versatility with tributes to greats including The Carpenters (“We’ve Only Just Begun”), ABBA (“Mamma Mia”), Queen (“We Are the Champions”) and Bob Seger (“Old Time Rock ‘n Roll”).

We enjoyed seeing this couple again and they certainly have great voices. Just one negative is that some members of the audience were inconsiderate enough to keep talking during the performance. This was very distracting for us and we wondered whether the performers were aware of this as well.
Hi there, the artists were great and both had FANTASTIC voices. I do however think that the stage was a little empty with just the 2 artists and would be better suited for Pubs and Restaurants as a normal GIG. I previously attended 'Rumours of Fleetwood Mac' and 'Back to the Sixties' and the full bands are definitely better suited for your facility. I must add though that the backing (on the black backdrop) and costume changes added some flavor. Keep up the excellent work. I am loving your shows.
Always a star duo! Will it sound terribly unkind if I mention that Monique's footwear (boots) is not a good choice with a cocktail dress???
really enjoyed it. brought back lots of memories. thank you
Great venue!

EXCELLENT VOICE QUALITY WE HAVE EXCEPTIONAL LOCAL TALENT THAT IS NOT FULLY PERSUDE I HAVE SOME IDEAS .
