With rehearsals for the premiere of YOU BET YOUR LIFE! set to start soon, ROLKSA Productions has announced that a fresh young ensemble has been put together to stage and perform the musical at the National Arts Festival later this year.

With a successful week-long workshop behind it, ROLSKA productions is moving forward with the debut production of the new musical YOU BET YOUR LIFE! at the National Arts Festival later this year. ROLSKA Productions has developed a solid track record over the past few years, including shows like I LOVE YOU, YOU'RE PERFECT, NOW CHANGE, the popular musical comedy by Joe DiPietro and Jimmy Roberts, and Benj Pasek and Justin Paul's ubiquitous song cycle EDGES amongst their hit productions. ROLSKA Productions won a Standard Bank Ovation Award for their National Arts Festival run of I LOVE YOU, YOU'RE PERFECT, NOW CHANGE. The company is proud to be presenting a new musical created by South African writers on local stages this year.
