On February 24, 2006, the SWWTU Hall possessed a large audience that came to support the Calypso Revue Tent. Patrons were left contented with the relatively comfortable and open environment, the adequate seating arrangement, and the very tight entertainment show produced by Michael 'Sugar Aloes' Osuna. The Revue paid tribute to two icons: Mr. Aldwyn Roberts also known as 'The Lord Kitchener' and Mr. Carl Pantin also known as 'Jazzy'.

The co-MC's of the night were Super Lue and well known funny man, Wendell Etienne. Both did a fabulous job in keeping the audience interested and awake throughout the entire programme.

The chorus group of the night, 'The Revue Agents', added their spectacular voices to the already grand performances that night. Also ensuring that the event ran smoothly was the 'Revue Orchestra' whose shiny brass instruments along with the impressive sound dazzled the atmosphere.

Artistes such as 'Astro', Denille Cooper, 'Lady Polish', 'Sexy Suzy', 'Bally' and 'The Baron' all entertained at The Review on Carnival Friday Night. Some interesting compositions were "20/20" by Bally, "It's Up To You" by 'Ajamu' and "Man" by 'Sugar Aloes'. These powerful performances were cherished by all. So too were the humorous Calypsos of the night such as "The Cat" sung by 'Sexy Suzie' and "Boldface Presenter" by Wendell Etienne.

Although the list of performers was quite lengthy, the organizers of The Revue ensured that artistes performed within a specific time frame. Thus, although the quick running of the show was a remarkable feat, it was proven to be very doable by The Revue organizers. Other event organizers should follow suit and adopt a stricter time management routine to ensure that people do not become bored with drawn out performances. Through experience, others may learn to put together successful events, and ensure that all are left satisfied just as The Calypso Revue has done.
