Most of us have probably heard of or possibly (with a little embarrassment) watched the popular Disney movie \u2018High School Musical\u2019<\/a>. It is the biggest Disney<\/a> movie to date and has even spawned two sequels. Hollywood has obviously catered for the younger market and tried to extract a love of musicals for the youth and younger generation. But\u2026what has happened to the classic musical?<\/p>\n

Think \u2018Chicago<\/a>\u2019 with the classic tune \u2018All That Jazz\u2019 or \u2018Cabaret<\/a>\u2019, with Liza Minnelli playing the classic role of Sally Bowles… Are the days of seeing a classic complex, funny or sad tale told through music and dance behind us?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>It seems all is not lost… Old fashioned musicals are back and being performed right here in South Africa<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Probably the most well-known of all musicals ,\u2018Phantom Of The Opera\u2019<\/a>, is making its way here. This is an Andrew Lloyd Webber classic that has been a sold-out hit across the globe. It tells the tale of a man with a brilliant musical mind but is extremely disfigured. He roams and haunts the Paris<\/a> Opera House and is only known as \u201cThe Phantom\u201d. The production features an all South African cast and includes the songs \u2018Music Of The Night\u2019 and \u2018All I Ask Of You\u2019.\u00a0 The musical will be performed at the Artscape in Cape Town<\/a> and Teatro, Montecasino in Johannesburg<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Presented by the Cape Town Gilbert and Sullivan society,\"\"<\/a> \u2018Fiddler On The Roof\u2019<\/a> makes its way to the Artscape. This musical will have you in stitches with its sharp humour and have you crying with sadness at the same time.\u00a0 The musical finds its roots in the theme of tradition and will have you tugging at your heart-strings.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Last but definitely not least is a new musical comedy \u2018Some Like It Vrot\u2019 written and directed by our very own David Kramer<\/a>. The musical finds comedian Marc Lottering<\/a> at its center. Kramer has used one of the characters, Smiley, from Marc\u2019s own stand-up shows the main characters. Thus, giving Lottering the opportunity to do what he does best. The performance will take you on a journey through the bustling streets of Wynberg , Woodstock and Grassy Park straight to the plush setting of the Waterfront. \u2018Some Like It Vrot\u2019 will be showing at the Baxter Theatre starting this October.<\/p>\n

So, if you love music, singing and dancing why not catch these performances and be enthralled by a combination of all these.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
