ABOUT

CHRISTMAS IN CAPE TOWN

Written & directed by Sheila McCormick

Musical direction Tersia Harley

A home-grown musical, set in South Africa, that revolves around Julie ( Danielle Marx), Craig (Georges Nzuba) and Lisa (Nakita Allen), three aspiring, young artists, sharing a flat in Johannesburg, who are trying to start their careers on the musical theatre stage. 

Due to family problems, Lisa and Craig are not looking forward to Christmas and when they hear about an audition for a new local show, Julie’s hopes of a stage career are almost dashed by news received from her mum, Linda (Yvonne Smith) in Cape Town. However, everything eventually turns out well and there’s a happy Christmas ending. 

In addition to the four named characters, the cast includes a small chorus (Danalia Borman, Simon Nye, Jean-Marie Schoots & David Scales) who play various cameo roles.

Apart from the locally-written title song, there are song tunes from several well-known musicals plus familiar ones by popular songwriters.

The production will run at Milnerton Playhouse from 1 to 16 December.
