Peter Mansbridge goes Gangnam Style for Stratford Shakespeare Festival
Turns out CBC News chief correspondent Peter Mansbridge can rock the horse dance with the best of them.
Mansbridge makes a cameo appearance in the “Gangnam Stratford Style” video, which was uploaded to YouTube yesterday evening and features the cast and crew of 42nd Street and Pirates of Penzance. Both shows will finish their runs at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival at the end of October, Huffington Post Canada reports. Cynthia Dale, Mansbridge’s wife, is part of the cast of 42nd street.
Gangnam Style, the hit song performed by Korean pop star Psy, has been the inspiration for a number of parodies. The original YouTube video has amassed over 475 million views since it was released in July.
The National anchor, sporting a Hockey Day in Canada jacket, makes his appearance at the 1:15 mark.
