Review: MY FAIR LADY at the Artscape Opera House Is Musical Theatre Perfection from Start to Finish
by Jaime Uranovsky - December 31, 2024
One of the world’s most adored musicals has arrived in Cape Town – and it’s “lover-ly”. From start to finish, I was absolutely mesmerised by MY FAIR LADY. There is not a second of this show that isn’t pitch-perfect, aesthetically gorgeous, or choreographed in a unique and eye-catching way.

Review: ALL MY EX LOVERS ARE DEAD at the Masambe Theatre Reflects on Identity-Shaping Experiences of Past, Almost and Unrequited Loves
by Jaime Uranovsky - December 24, 2024
ALL MY EX LOVERS ARE DEAD is part confessional, part intimate chat with a good friend. Written and directed by Dara Beth, this one-woman show is “an all too honest, mostly autobiographical reflection on love, desire, poor life choices, and how many cups of tea it takes to wake up and smell the coffee”. The production stars Qondiswa James as Echo, a hopeless romantic who probably wouldn’t describe herself that way.

Review: RED RIDING HOOD at the Masque Theatre Is Fabulous, Fun and Feisty
by Jaime Uranovsky - December 19, 2024
Pantomimes aren’t easy – at once they must captivate children for upwards of two hours while also catering to the sensibilities of the adults in the audience. RED RIDING HOOD manages to ace both of these components. In fact, this might be my favourite of the annual pantos at the Masque Theatre – the show is fun, slick, and just all round excellent.
