Robert-Ian Caldwell & Jeff Judge perform the musical revue, A GREEN NUMBER, a collection of inconsequential sketches: mainly musical, with the occasional monologue. Caldwell is on stage, song and sedation: Judge does keys, saxophone and vocals. Caldwell has never run a Comrades Marathon (Judge has one under his belt) – but the 2011 Festival was his 10th Grahamstown Festival Fringe appearance, over some 25 years: hence A GREEN NUMBER. The tunes are borrowed and are well-known. The lyrics are largely original: although successive SA governments have made script-writing a cinch. Experience decomposed Broadway musicals; politicians new and old; Dalai diversions; name changes, polluted rivers and speedy locomotives; cats & dogs, nightingales & white-ants; applied tartan dyslexia; and a health-care section that should relieve depression.
SOME REVIEWS -

“These two entertainers treat their audience to a range of great pieces, with clever original lyrics and a good measure of mirth. It’s hard to write this, I can’t see through the tears of laughter. Good music, good show!” Lee-Ann Knowles, Cue, Sunday July 3.
“It is perhaps the lively rapport they share that makes their two-man act such a hit… they offered their versions of a wide range of popular songs….their humour had its roots in an era when clever wit was greatly prized and appreciated.” Judi Davis: South Coast Herald, July 29, 2011
“Prince Charles and Camilla, O.?R.?Tambo Airport and a host of African politicians got a bit of a roasting in Robert-Ian Caldwell and Jeff Judge’s new show, A Green Number, when it was staged at the Hexagon Dive last week… During the course of a fun-filled evening, Caldwell and Judge also took the mickey out of medical maladies and the gentleman’s game of cricket and even provided a hysterical new take on Cinderella. The two men enjoyed a successful run at the Grahamstown Festival earlier this year, and judging by the belly laughs and grins on the faces of those at the Dive last week, they scored a hit back home too.” – Estelle Sinkins, The Witness, 17 Nov 2011
