After a sell-out season in June, Luitingh Alexander Musical Theatre Academy (LAMTA) is bringing song and dance production Hollywood back to Theatre on The Bay from Friday October 11 to Saturday October 26.
Showcasing the Golden Age of cinema - from the stylistic era of film noir to modern day romantic comedies - Hollywood also takes a peek behind the scenes. It touches on prevalent topics like the true cost of fame and fortune, Tinseltown politics and the ultimate sacrifices made in the quest to land a place in Big Screen history.
Audiences can expect works by some of South Africa's leading names in the dance world including Jared Schaedler, Brigitte Reeve Taylor, Michelle Reid, Sven-Eric Müller, Zoë Aldridge, Jasmine Minter, Ashley Searle, Robin van Wyk, Chesney Stanfield, Emile Petersen, LAMTA graduates Anna Olivier and Naoline Quinzin, and the academy’s co-founder, Duane Alexander.
The song list includes My Heart Will Go On from Titanic, What Was I Made For by Billie Eilish, Fix You by Coldplay and I Will Talk And Hollywood Will Listen, all given fresh arrangements by Anton Luitingh.
Tickets cost from R150 to R250 through Webtickets or the Theatre on The Bay box-office on 021 438 3300. Performances are at 7.30pm with Saturday matinees at 2.30pm. Pupils and dance studios wanting to secure group booking discounts can Sharon on 079 376 7666.
