ABOUT
Spectacular homage to Broadway arrives at historic Cape Town venues
PRODUCTION SUMMARY
Barbra. Judy. Julie. Patti. Audra. Lea. Sutton.
These are no ordinary names. They belong to seven sensational women who changed the very meaning of musical theatre as we know it today. Women who embody grandeur, talent and grace; women who demand their moment in the spotlight. To put it quite simply – divas.
The Seven Deadly Divas of Broadway is a loving tribute to some of the most formidable women to have ever treaded the boards of the Great White Way. Indulge in the incomparable collective repertoire as we celebrate all they have achieved and all they have overcome. With signature ballads such as Don’t Cry Me for Argentina, Somewhere Over the Rainbow, I Dreamed a Dream, Don’t Rain on my Parade and Climb Ev’ry Mountain, one is guaranteed to leave the theatre humming along, or even having shed a tear or two.
This musical masterclass is presented by some of Cape Town’s very own brightest stars, each paying a fitting homage to the women that inspired them. Supported by a magical ensemble choir, The Seven Deadly Divas of Broadway runs for a limited season that simply cannot be missed.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Cape Town Theatre Company is back with a brand new musical theatre extravaganza. From the producers of the hit shows This Moment and A Boarding Line comes this brand new production, promising for an electrifying night out. The Cape Town Theatre Company is fast becoming the tastemaker of choice for all things theatre and hopes to continue building on this legacy in their upcoming season. The Seven Deadly Divas of Broadway is staged at two of Cape Town’s most historic theatre’s, The Labia Theatre and Gallery44 (formerly known as the Space Theatre). This partnership promises to ground the production in the rich history of Cape Town’s theatrical heartbeat, while reimagining theatre after a life altering pandemic.
The Cape Town Theatre Company was founded with a single purpose in mind: to create quality theatre for performers and theatre-goers, while being accessible to all. Driven by a team comprised of seasoned thespians and theatre-makers alike, the Cape Town Theatre Company endeavours to create memorable works on and off stage that uplift and empower their performers. We aim to create truly unique experiences from drawing board to final performance and a smattering of opportunities for budding theatre enthusiasts of any skill and experience level. Spanning over the greater Cape Peninsula, from Sea Point to Somerset West, the organisation intends to present a diverse annual season of exceptional caliber while building and nurturing a close-knit community for its players.
