Rex Roman Pink Floyd Show, The

Udderbelly's Pasture    7 - 23 August @ 22.15   CH Entertainment - Festival Highlights

Not so much a Musical, more a tribute band with the story of Rex Roman thrown in for good measure. Rex is a young man in the 70’s who loves his air guitar and longs to be an actor. His life is changed when his friend, Bradley, buys a Pink Floyd album. Rex falls in love with Lucy who he meets at a Pink Floyd concert.

The live band gives excellent renditions of Pink Floyd songs alongside a weak plot, somewhat unnecessarily delivered through a narrator. The funniest part of the show was the flying pig, recreating the iconic Pink Floyd photograph. 

As the show progressed, characters began to express their feelings through the songs, giving the show a more theatrical element that helps to develop the whole show. A special mention goes to Kate Millest (Lucy) - her rendition of “Wish you were here” worked beautifully. Fans of Pink Floyd will enjoy hearing their songs such as “Money” and “Time” and of course, finishing with “Another Brick in the Wall” that left the audience clapping and cheering.
