2. KAT AND THE KINGS

The Fugard Theatre's production of David Kramer and Taliep Petersen`s Award-Winning West End and Broadway Smash Hit Musical KAT AND THE KINGS is back for a summer season at the Fugard Theatre in Cape Town. This follows the initial four month sold out season at the Fugard Theatre earlier this year and a 9 week season at Montecasino in Jo’burg. The sensational South African musical returns to District Six, just in time for the holiday season and is a must-see for the whole family!

Set in South Africa in the 1950s, the sensational musical explores the journey of teenager Kat Diamond, who is convinced that he is the best singer and dancer in District Six. He forms the a cappella group the Cavalla Kings with his friends Ballie, Magoo, Bingo, and young Kat. The quintet, with their American doo wop and rock and roll influences becomes a sensation, graduating from street corners to "whites only" nightclubs, and a recording contract.

KAT AND THE KINGS won the Olivier Award for Best New Musical in 1999.
