| Audiences
can look forward to an eclectic mix of opera, pop, rock and
classical ballads. Joseph Clark is an internationally renowned,
award-winning performer. He teams up with South Africa’s
four tenors, the Gaabo Motho Tenors, in a show that covers not
only the music of Queen but favourites such as All for Love
and You Raise Me Up. The brilliant Queen song Who Wants to Live
Forever promises to raise goose bumps when it resounds with
these rich opera voices, blending excellently to create powerful
harmonies and beautiful melodies, resulting in a rapture of
classical music that is unmistakably and proudly South African. |

Bend
It Like Beauty featuring
Ben Voss |
| Sponsored
by Hollard Seguros |
| Radio
personality, writer and comic sensation Ben Voss is back with
his razor-sharp, motor mouth alter-ego Beauty Ramapelepele.
With venomous honesty, Beauty dishes out her verdict on her
trip to the UK and what it is like to be a South African abroad.
In the process she answers such pressing questions as: Should
"British Museum" not just read "Britain - a Museum"?
Why do Indians in London talk with an English accent? Why are
western politicians so much more expensive? Also she checks
out whether, on his visit to the UK, Jacob Zuma made it into
Buckingham palace during the changing of the guard and showed
the Queen his own crown jewels and could Julius get into Britain
on a woodwork scholarship? From an anal probe at Heathrow airport
(the British were convinced she was smuggling cocaine) to her
final speech to the South African cabinet she gives us a fly
on the wall account of being a Black Beauty in Britain. Funny,
fiery and fresh, this show has played in London for a three
week season and at The National Arts Festival in Grahamstown,
Bend it Like Beauty won an Ovation Award for Best Comedy. |

Love
at First Fight featuring Ash Searle and Vanessa
Harris |
| Sponsored
by KPMG |
Vanessa
Harris and Ash Searle are both phenomenal in their hilarious
comedy about the miscommunications between men and women in
relationships. This extravaganza of dance comedy and a touch
of mime had the audience belly aching from laughter at the relationship
faux pas that we all can recognise. With genuine chemistry and
affection between the actors, this show works because it’s
more clever and subtle than expected, is consistently entertaining
and easy to watch and because the two stars are so likeable.
You’ll laugh, you’ll cry and you’ll cringe
in recognition at this feel-good comedy. |
