Time to Catch Some Love at the Savoy

By

It’s time for one of the most popular events on the G&S Calendar for the last 14 years, our annual Valentine’s Cabaret, “Love is in the Air”. The show features a fabulous line-up of outstanding local performers led on, and off, stage by well-known local theatre personality and G&S President, Rose Cowpar. “This show really has something for everyone; couples, friends, family and anyone who enjoys a great night’s entertainment!” Cowpar said.

Love is in the Air is directed by Cowpar, who is joined by Robert Gillmer, in his G&S debut, also wearing two hats whilst performing and doing Vocal Direction. The dancers are led by SA under 21 Latin American Champions, Vernon van der Merwe and his sister Dominique who recently relocated to the friendly city and are ready to show the locals their winning style.

Audiences will be singing and dancing along to hits from the charts, the classics, stage and screen with some surprise mashups and comedy numbers.  This year’s selection features songs made famous by Lady Gaga, Etta James, U2, Bruno Mars, Tina Turner and many more. After the success of last year’s guest artist spot, we will be welcoming the likes of Harrison Nash and Mariloe Booysen to the stage this year plus 3 more surprise artists!

The cast is a wonderful blend of youth and experience, featuring well-known local artists such as Gillmer, André Mackay, Annaline Stiglingh and Jaydee Mulder alongside G&S regulars Phil Cowie, Melissa Leander, Julia Jonas, Sebastian Mostert and Khuselo Gqiba. Making their Valentine’s debut are Arthur Dolkien, Nande Mzaidume, Georgia-Jo Palmer, Leandi Fontini and our resident Lighting Designer Milo Dyantyi.

Love is in the Air runs from the 10th to the 14th of February 2023 at the Savoy Theatre with shows at 7.30pm on Friday 10th and Saturday 11th, 2.00pm on Saturday and Sunday 12th and 7.00pm on Valentine’s evening, Tuesday 14th February, where patrons can also choose to enjoy a 3 course meal. Tickets are just R100, or R750 for a table of 8 or R80 for all tickets for the Sunday Matinee. On Valentine’s evening patrons can choose to enjoy a special package which includes a 3 course meal and the show for just R280pp. 

Bookings for all performances can be made via our Facebook event or with Chantal on 069 196 4098 or by emailing savoyticketsales@gmail.com.

Patrons will be seated at tables and are welcome to bring along a picnic to enjoy during the show. Finger snacks will be sold at our Coffee Bar to build your own platter and delicious burgers will be sold at the weekend shows. The Savoy Bar and Coffee Bar will be open for all shows.

Although G&S are celebrating Valentine‘s Day, this is a show for everyone, not just couples – have a girl’s night out, get together with a group of friends or bring your book club or work party.  The Valentine’ Cabaret is the major G&S fundraiser for the year so please support G&S and keep the great theatre coming in 2023.

Go On – Share the Gqeberha Love!
