Rolling Thunder Vietnam

10 Aug 2016

The new and electrifying concert drama Rolling Thunder Vietnam – Songs That Defined A Generation returns by public demand on Wednesday 10th August to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of The Battle Of Long Tan.
Hailed by the critics as one of the best shows ever – this celebrated production combines personal stories of young Vietnam War soldiers with the great rock songs of the era. This dynamic theatrical concert draws audiences inside the combat, protest and bittersweet homecoming of the world’s first televised war.

Rolling Thunder Vietnam is more than a concert, more than a drama and more than the sum of its parts. It transports audiences to an era of unrest, political turmoil and a generation on the brink of momentous social change. It is also a love story and a work that affirms human resilience and the genius of songwriters in the ‘60s and ‘70s. Backed by Australia’s best known musicians this show gets everyone up in their seats.

The storytelling wraps around such classic songs as Magic Carpet Ride, Fortunate Son, All Along the Watchtower, Run Through the Jungle, Born To Be Wild, Black Magic Woman, Killing Me Softly With His Song, We’ve Gotta Get Out of This Place and Bridge Over Troubled Water just to name a few.

Featuring stunning projected images and news footage, Rolling Thunder Vietnam is a powerful and moving experience.
The home-grown production is produced by Rebecca Blake, directed by David Berthold, written by Bryce Hallett and has the esteemed musical director Chong Lim at its helm.

Don’t miss this emotional journey.
