THEY came, they conquered – again! Popular entertainment duo Ash and Bradley Searle bring the house down in Big Boys II, the sequel to their multiple award-winning show Big Boys Don’t Dance.
Sequels are generally dangerous turf, especially when the original production is a major hit – as was the case with the Follow Spot’s Big Boys Don’t Dance which scooped a number of awards and garnered rave reviews wherever it staged. But this company has defied the norm and outdone themselves with Big Boys II. It’s hard not to see this show garnering a host of awards like its predecessor. In fact this concept has major cult-following potential.
In the latest instalment of the Big Boys franchise, Ash finds himself in a predicament when a stripper at his bull party steals his car. (Well, actually it’s his father-in-law-to-be’s luxury car.) But Brad steps in and devises a plan for the brothers to enter the “So you think you can strictly come willingly” reality dance competition, win the prize money and buy a new car. Of course it seems ludicrous but Ash goes ahead with this insane plan, that actually works out.
But they smash that car, miss the wedding by 16 hours, the bride Vanessa leaves Ash a note saying she needs some space and so begins a rollercoaster adventure where the two brothers embark on a mission to find Vanessa and get the wedding back on track.
Their hilarious adventure leads the dancing duo to London – because according to Brad’s manslation (translation of Vanessa’s letter using his “man code”) she’s in London.
What follows is an insane 60-plus hour trip on cheap flight tickets, a crazy train trip from the airport to their hotel, Brad’s theory on why “men are from mars and women are from hell”, and a semi-strip show – yes, a strip show, but not that kind, this one is way better as it’s loaded with Searle hysterics.
Can Ash get back to Vanessa, who’s actually in South Africa, before it’s too late? Can Brad realise his dream of their dance “going viral”.
What makes this show an awesome entertainer is its mix of a laugh-a-minute script, a great selection of music, very impressive hip hop and contemporary dance and an exciting lighting and audio display, all weaved together to produce a show where every scene is a treat.
