FEW festive season events in Durban are likely to better encapsulate and celebrate the season of good cheer than the latest version of The Playhouse Company’s ever-popular and always spectacular production, A Christmas Celebration.
This year’s show, directed by Ralph Lawson and featuring a diverse line-up of artists accompanied by the KZN Philarmonic Orchestra under the baton of Lykele Temmingh, will be presented in the large Playhouse Opera Theatre at 7.30pm on Saturday, 21 December 21, and 2pm on Sunday, 22 December.
A Christmas Celebration is among highlights of the Durban arts body’s jam-packed Christmas season programme which includes a sumptuous ballet, a comedy show, a new musical-comedy penned by Clinton Marius, a must-see jazz concert and a wildlife-themed Gcina Mhlophe production for the young.

As usual, the slick, tinselly treat will showcase an extravaganza of song and dance highlighting favourite carols, gospel greats and a collection of classic Christmas songs – all performed by The Playhouse Chorale and star guest vocalists Shelly McLean, Wayne Mkhize, Audrey Poo and Joel Zuma.
Also adding to the fun will be performances by the versatile and vibrant dancers of Phakama Dance Theatre.
Tickets for A Christmas Celebration cost R120 and R150 and can bought at the Playhouse box-office. Contact 031 369 9596/40 or online and at Pick n Pay outlets via WebTickets.
