| MOULIN ROUGE: By far D‘n’D’s most theatrical tribute to date. Combining a mix of material from the Moulin Rouge movie soundtrack with popular dance anthems of the 70’s/80’s, D'n'D will take you on a journey back to Montmartre and the era of the French Music Hall during the late 1800’s. Visually, Moulin Rouge is spectacular. Colourful costumes and choreography make for a fast moving show that includes soundtrack favourites such as Lady Marmalade, Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend, Material Girl and Because You Can Can (The Can Can) along with dance anthems including It’s Raining Men, Last Dance and I Will Survive. |

| SUPER 60's: Sixties glitz prevails — when it was cool to wear skivvies and slacks, beehives were in fashion and martini’s were the drink of the moment.
