Abba So-lutely Fabulous!

This local production is a Father’s Day special filled with music and comedy, which is suitable for the whole family.

The play features a talented trio of husband and wife team of Aaron McIlroy and Lisa Bobbert, alongside award-winning Durban-based singer and entertainer, Marion Loudon.

This immersive audio-visual rock ‘n roll tribute show will be split into two sections. The first half celebrates Elvis Presley (performed by Andrea Giglio), while the second half pays tribute to foundational rock revolution icons backed by a live 5-piece band.

This feel-good show will be packed with iconic ABBA hits. There will also be comedy and vibrant performances, in an interactive experience for all ages, which will also include plenty of sing-along moments.

Where: The Rhumbelow Theatre in Umbilo.

When: Sunday, June 21, at 2pm.

Theatre KidZ 

This coming-of-age satirical play shines a spotlight on the chaos, camaraderie and countless personalities that exist behind the scenes of theatre. 

Exploring the good, the bad and the downright ugly that comes with putting on a production, it finds humour in the real-life characters who work tirelessly backstage to ensure the show goes on. 

“Theatre KidZ” features a talented ensemble cast who bring to life the colourful personalities that exist behind the scenes of a theatre show. 

Set against the backdrop of a production in progress, the play offers audiences an affectionate yet unfiltered look at the highs and lows of theatre life, proving that sometimes the most entertaining drama happens offstage. 

Where: The Westville Theatre Club.

When: Saturday, June 20, until Sunday, June 28.
