ABBA:
"Benny has been working out, has shed a few pounds, yet still his estranged wife, Frida continues to show disinterest.
It’s rumoured she now prefers the company of a drummer, Fernando."
From Waterloo and Ring Ring through to Dancing Queen, D‘n’D perform the classics in an exciting fully choreographed set in authentic ABBA-style costumes.

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.
Incorporating music from the ladies of the 60’s with slick coordinated dance steps, D‘n’D revive the favourites from the magical era in an exciting set that includes hits by Diana Ross and the Supremes, LuLu, Aretha Franklin, Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, and Dusty Springfield in a nightclub-style cabaret tribute.

ROCKY HORROR:
"I would like, If I may, To take you on a strange journey. It seemed a fairly ordinary day when Brad Majors and his girlfriend, Janet Weiss, went to the wedding of two high school friends, Ralph Hapschatt and Betty Monroe. It was a high point of their day, a VERY long day indeed…"
Join Brad and Janet, Riff Raff and Magenta, Colombia and Eddie, and Frankenfurter in a D’n’D mini-production of the 1975 cult movie, The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Songs include Science Fiction/Double Feature, Dammit Janet, Over At the Frankenstein Place, plus many more...

FABULOUS 50's:
Mixing music from the 50’s with hits from the Grease movie soundtrack, D ‘n’ D take you back to 1959 - the time of drug stores, beauty shops, soda pop, fast cars (and boys), leather jackets, and slick-back hair-dos.
Audience involvement is encouraged in this fun-filled set of all the favourite tunes from Grease Lightning, Hopelessly Devoted, The One that I Want, through to 50’s classics such as Leader of the Pack, He’s A Rebel, and Do You Love Me Now That I Can Dance?
Rock ‘n’ Roll with Danny, Sandy, Rizzo, Kenickie, and Doody as they deliver the irresistible tunes of the era in colourful 50’s costumes.

FLEETWOOD MAC:
Combining their individual skills as live musicians, D’n’D present a costumed tribute to timeless rock icons, Fleetwood Mac.
Performing the most popular classic hits from the FWM vast catalogue such as The Chain, Dreams, Go Your Own Way, Gypsy, Rhiannon, Little Lies, You Make Loving Fun, Tusk, Never Going Back, Landslide, Sara... this tribute can be performed as a complete rock concert-style show, or condensed to a single feature set.
