Extravaganza of light and talent coming to Mall of Africa
This Christmas spectacular offers a fun-fueled, once in a lifetime experience for young and old.
The Waterfall Park, located at the Mall of Africa, will soon be home to a magnificent extravaganza of lights, music, exceptional local and international talent, plus the best outdoors festive season entertainment ever experienced on South African soil!
All dressed up and nowhere to go? This year, boredom won’t reign supreme in the lives of South African families, because from November 25 to December 24, the amphitheatre at the country’s largest retail mall will be transformed into a spellbinding wonderland of extraordinary lights and visual effects, Christmas decorations, music – and an unforgettable stage production that grandparents, parents and cool teenagers will enjoy just as much as the smaller children.
A majestic nine feet high set by Juan Boshoff; 104 colourful costumes; 22 kilometre strings of twinkling fairy lights; a giant stage, 12 metres of captivating Christmas ornaments with cheerful lighting; a unique 160 metre waterfall of cascading lights and a world-class concert, will all contribute towards a dazzling experience like none other before.
The ambience set by the original festive music composed by music producer Brendan Jury and the internationally acclaimed composer, Bernadette Vercellino, creates the perfect backdrop to a humorous fantasy with a gripping story line and characters, who’ll conquer your heart from the get-go. Outstanding choreography by Weslee Lauder and cheerful outfits by Delene Holt, Mercedes de Bruyn and Heidi du Toit from Hollywood Costumes, gives life to this pantomime-brainchild of one of South Africa’s most famous actresses, Lizz Meiring. She’s also the director of this exceptional project, along with producer Rudi Kesting from Production Projects and Juan Boshoff. A very talented cast complements this high-quality production, which will leave audiences wanting for more.
This Christmas spectacular offers a fun-fueled, once in a lifetime experience for young and old. Shows will take place under the starry sky daily from Monday to Sunday. Gates open at 18:00 and by 20:00 the 3 000 guests will be amazed by a 70-minute show, transporting them to a gripping wonderland, where Cirque du Soleil meets Christmas cheer.
