Everyone loves those classic hits that bring back great memories and have you tapping your feet and singing along to every word. In the third G&S concert series presentation for the year we will feature some of the greatest hits of the decades from the 1950s to the 80s.

Choosing just 2 hours worth is a tough job with so many iconic songs to choose from but we promise a great program with something for everyone, from Frank Sinatra to Michael Jackson, ABBA, Bon Jovi and CCR to Queen alongside a little Rock and Roll, some 60s Motown, disco classics from the 70s and so much more. This production is directed by Rose Cowpar with Vocal Direction by Darné Claassen.

The cast of 20 ranges in age from 13 to 72, with G&S regulars Khuselo Gqiba, Anke Staphorst, Phillip Cowie, Emma van der Westhuizen, Charl Vollgraaff, Sean Cady and Rose Cowpar, with Darné Claassen and Roelof Erasmus from our last concert, Draadloos, alongside a lineup of fantastic newcomers.

We welcome back Derryn Fuller and Yvonne Parker who’ll be joined by one of our favourite sponsors, Doron Blackman from Brightsparx Sign Co who makes his G&S debut alongside Ken Collier, 72 year old Cathy Scheun and her singing partner Hugh Ashworth who all gave us goosebumps in auditions. Chanté Meiring, Brad Chamberlain, Cailan van Heerden, Natalie Ferrant, Carmen Alldred and Litha Hewitt-Coleman will all show us just how amazingly talented our PE performers are.

The show runs from 27-29th October 7.30 nightly and at 2.00pm on Saturday 29th. Tickets are just R80 each or R75 for a group of 8 or more and patrons can choose either row or table seating. Bookings are now open – call Rose on 072 906 1977.
