There certainly was no blockage to a wide assortment of quality entertainment when the London-based Barricade Boys put on quite a show Frida night at the Fox Theatre. The four English singers and stage show veterans have been touring the world for a decade and brought their Broadway Party to Hutchinson.
Exceptional is the best word to describe their music selection, harmony, choreography, screen graphics, lighting and sound, wardrobe and on-stage togetherness. The performance was bookended at the beginning and close with songs from Les Miserables but in between was an amazing rendition of hit music from Mama Mia, Jersey Boys, Motown, rock and even an emotional tribute to service members with a song called Bring Him Home.
The four singers were backed by four highly talented band members including an outstanding music coordinator and keyboard player, all contributing greatly to the overall musical journey.
Not all artists make themselves available for a visit, signing and up-close contact but the Barricade Boys were as personable for fans after the show as during their on-stage performance.
If the Fox is fortunate enough to book them for another future show or if they make another appearance nearby you are guaranteed an enjoyable and memorable time.
