Absolutely Abba The Matinee Show! Sat 12 Oct at 13h30 @ Centrestage @ Baywest

ABOUT

A family Abba Matinee show!

Centrestage brings their recent sellout show, Absolutely Abba, directly from the Impetus Theatre to Centrestage @ Bay West on Sat afternoon 12 October at 13h30.

The dazzling tribute to the legendary Swinging Swedes of the 70s features the 11-piece Centrestage All-Star Band and is a hit with children and parents alike!

Featuring Tara-Jane Stern and newcomer Kalyn Du Plessis as the bubbly fronting duo, the Centrestage All-Star band is helmed by Gino Fabbri on drums, Andre Strydom on bass, Abigail Pitie and Rory McLaren on keys, Hugo Kleinhans and Stephen Hurter on guitar, with Thuba Myeki on additional vocals along with up and coming talent in Gemma Barnard and Caeleigh Heradien.

Absolutely Abba is not just a concert; it’s an electrifying emotional rollercoaster fuelled by nostalgia and adrenaline.

From the euphoric “Dancing Queen” to the heart-wrenching “The Winner Takes It All,” each song weaves a story—a tapestry of love, loss, and resilience.

Leave the couch behind; dance, sing, and celebrate the timeless magic of Abba together!

Absolutely Abba is kindly sponsored by Fitch & Leedes.

MORE INFO ABOUT THE CENTRESTAGE EXPERIENCE

Centrestage's prime focus has always been on creating a relaxed, fun, social environment for "people with short attention spans" and offering exciting entertainment featuring top local and national artists.

It's very important to us that you enjoy the “Centrestage Experience” with a group of your friends in a relaxed, 8-seater chairs around tables environment with a drink and optional food platters and meals on hand.

A 30m walk is all it takes to get to our venue from the empty parking area upstairs at Entrance 1 - and parking in the centre is free and completely SAFE!

Every ticket purchased will be accompanied by a R50 voucher which can be used at one of these restaurants at Bay West: Biloxi Spur, John Dorys, Panarottis and Rocomamas, either before the show or until the end of November. On a R250 spend, that’s a 20% discount!

Once your tickets are purchased, details on how to redeem these vouchers will be emailed to you from Monday 16 Sept - you will be able to utilize them immediately, before the show or at any time until 31 October.

One parking ticket per car will be available after the show so you won’t have to queue at all.

EVENTS VENUE

Centrestage @ Bay West will double as a fantastic new events venue, as we have a fancy Lineout sound and lighting system already installed, with a variable sized stage.

Standard in the venue is 9m x 5m, but the stage can be extended to 16m x 6m if needed. Screens and projectors are also available in-house, and the venue is draped in black.

This means that the hair-pulling and tight deadlines of function set-ups and late night strikes are a thing of the past. Lineout’s friendly, experienced and professional staff will run the functions for you if you choose, or you will be able to bring in your own tech crew.

The cost to provide a client with a technical extravaganza could easily be half of the cost to recreate this from an external supplier.

Technical specifications and setups can be tailored to suit every budget.

The venue can seat up to 800+ people in schoolroom style.

Affordable in-house catering will be offered, but you will still have the option to bring your own caterers in.

Please contact Wendy Knott-craig on 0732018699 for further events related information.

Note: Early bird tickets are only available directly through Wendy on 082-6616921 until 13 September.
