2023 Countdown
Some of the stars from the productions (Marc Lottering’s Aunty Merle – Things Get Real, Christo Davids’ Platform 9: Coming Home and Alfred Adriaan’s Unfit & Forty) will do the new year countdown.
Marc Lottering’s, latest instalment of Aunty Merle – Things Get Real, continues to delight, following the sell-out success of the two previous productions in the musical comedy series. Audiences and media are raving with Broadway World describing it as, “… genius being created onstage … The Queen of Belgravia Road dazzles in this musical … This production is a must-see – it is that simple.”
Weekend Special confers, “… bigger and bolder than those that came before … And judging by the jiving standing ovation on opening night, it’s another hit.” The Cape Robyn agreed, saying, “Fabulous! … a comic and musical triumph … a must-see.”
Performances are at 7.30pm, except on 31 December, when it will start at 8pm, with 3pm Saturday matinees and runs until 21 January 2023. There is an age restriction of 13 years.
