Winners Announced for 60th Fleur Du Cap Theatre Awards at DHL Stadium
A night of glamour and glitz, celebrating excellence in the theatre
It was a night of glitz and glamour at the 60TH FLEUR DU CAP THEATRE AWARDS on Sunday 23 March 2025. I had the pleasure of attending, along with my colleague, Jaime Uranovsky.
The ceremony started with a fun introduction by Alan Committee. Everyone had a great laugh thanks to his jokes, and that set the tone for a wonderful evening of celebrations and joy.
