Well, it’s happened… after months and months of long days and nights, we’ve had our opening weekend!
Annie, directed by Kyla Thorburn for Gilbert & Sullivan in Cape Town, and featuring an excellent cast – opened on Saturday, to much applause and many smiles. Every one of our preformances so far has received a standing ovation! And I still get goose bumps every time we have a curtain call – especially when the children (orphans) come on to take their bow, and the audience cheers even louder.
It’s moments like this which make all the hours worthwhile 🙂
We have 2 casts – and it’s hard to suggest one over the other (unless you are a mommie / partner / brother or auntie of a cast member) – everyone is putting in their all, and giving audience members a show to remember.
Don’t miss this show! On at Artscape till 05 December – book at Computicket, or through a member of the cast or crew.
I saw the matinee of Annie on Sunday 21 November. Pls advise which cast I saw – ie who was Daddy Warbucks, Annie and Miss Hannigan?
Tks
