1
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 1: It proved a smash hit two years ago, Popzilla. Now

2
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: Variety Theater is back with an electrifying sequel, Rockzilla at

3
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: the End of the Months, directed and choreographed by Jesse Thompson,

4
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,439
Speaker 1: musically directed by Joe Castello. Both dropped by the studio

5
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 1: to give me a wee heads up on what we

6
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 1: can expect. Songs from the likes of Queen Bon Joe v.

7
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: Green Day, big harmony numbers, and even a seven piece

8
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 1: version of this Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls.

9
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:36,160
Speaker 2: It's been incredible to watch Joe working with it coming together,

10
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,520
Speaker 2: because yeah, she teaches each part and then they bring

11
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,880
Speaker 2: it together and it just sounds incredible.

12
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 3: Some of our we've got a few numbers that are

13
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 3: our compellers, so no, no, come that.

14
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 4: I've still got the goosebumps and I think back to Cabinet.

15
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 4: Oh yes, yep, that sound of silence.

16
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 3: Yeah. But I'm of course a great I'm into harmony,

17
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 3: so I just always wanted a couple of show stopping

18
00:00:58,880 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 3: harmony songs.

19
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, right on.

20
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 3: You've got to take the audience on a ride. You know,

21
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 3: it can't all be the same level. It's got to change,

22
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 3: go up and down, and you know, be fast and

23
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 3: slow and take our guess, take the audience on a journey.

24
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 3: And if you have everything exactly the same, it doesn't work.

25
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 3: So we've all got memories of songs, and you know

26
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 3: it's it's a journey.

27
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 4: Is this like a musical variety show or is there

28
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 4: a bit of a story to it?

29
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 2: No, there's no story to it. It is just a

30
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 2: compilation of songs. So we've got songs that have all

31
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 2: thirty eight cast members on stage, just thirty eight. And

32
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 2: then there's songs where we've got just the kids on stage,
