RHUMBELOW Theatre in Umbilo presents Godfrey Johnson in Johnson Unzipped from Friday, 1 to Sunday, 3 July.
The multiple award-winning Godfrey Johnson will enchant you with a variety of colourful characters, including the very ‘concerned’ citizen, Nugent, and the hyper-neurotic new age wonder woman, Juniper Jade.
The show will include new satirical songs covering a wide range of trending themes, from corporate cannibals to post-hipster hipsters. Watch as he effortlessly plays piano, sings and entertains with an extensive repertoire ranging from Stephen Sondheim to David Bowie.
Johnson was most recently seen in the acclaimed ‘Vaslav’ directed by Lara Bye. He was also responsible for composing the music for Pieter-Dirk Uys’ ‘Die Van Aardes Van Grootoor’, which enjoyed great success at The Theatre on The Bay. In 2015 he was nominated for three Fleur du Cap Awards for best actor in a musical, best solo performance and best musical composer. His other notable shows are ‘Flirting with Coward’ and ‘The Shadow of Brel’. In 2015 he appeared in David Kramer’s new musical, ‘Orpheus in Africa’.
The venue opens 90 minutes before the show for a picnic dinner. Take picnic baskets and braais.
