Audience members will not only have the opportunity to sing along to all of their favourite showtunes, but just by purchasing a FINDING THE LIGHTAN EVENING WITH MUSICAL THEATRE STARS ticket, they will be supporting the impressive Kolisi Foundation. Yes, our World Cup winning captain Siya does so much more than chase a ball across a field – he and his wife Rachel founded the Foundation in 2019 to tackle some of the toughest challenges facing South African communities.Β Β 

Accompanied by the full Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra, and hosted by Cape Town’s very own Marc Lottering,  FINDING THE LIGHTAN EVENING WITH MUSICAL THEATRE STARS promises a visual and auditory kaleidoscope in celebration of our humanity and our collective search for the light. 

β€œWe are honoured to have some of South Africa’s finest musical theatre talent joining us on stage for Finding the Light. Inspired by the concept that β€˜singing connects us’, our wonderful guest artists and audiences come together for a fabulous evening of entertainment, whilst investing in the incredible work of the Kolisi Foundation,” says Jessica Ross, the London-based Executive Producer of the show and co-founder of Finding The Light Foundation.Β 

I know I will need to pack extra tissues because those big Phantom of the Opera and West Side Story musical numbers will leave me in absolute tears. Jonathan and Lynelle were breathtaking as Tony and Maria in the 2015 run of West Side Story and I am giddy with anticipation of seeing them perform together again!

Tickets for FINDING THE LIGHTAN EVENING WITH MUSICAL THEATRE STARS are available from R190 via Webtickets.
