Show set to educate children in light-hearted manner
Sonja and Tjokker will delight the little ones at Carnival City’s Mardi Gras Theatre.
A show jam-packed with great entertainment, loads of fun and learning and many giggles will be the order of the day at Carnival City on July 22.
That’s when Sonja and Tjokker are heading to the Mardi Gras Theatre to entertain children, and the young at heart, with their fun-filled Afrikaans-and-English musical theatre production.
Well-known South African artist Sonja Herholdt and her best friend, the big, fluffy brown dog named Tjokker, have travelled all over South Africa to visit and perform for young ones since 2012.
Their fun performances are loaded with favourite old nursery rhymes, as well as new, original content and aim not only at entertaining, but also educating children.
As they invite their audiences to get up, get active and dance along to their exciting music and dance moves, these two educate children by addressing issues such as pollution, water conservation and the like – in a fun and easy-to-understand way.
Tjokker is mischievous and has had children rolling on the floor with laughter at his naughty tricks for years.
“It will bring us the greatest of pleasure to see, especially, the little ones having a great time, being happy and laughing. We embrace family,” said Michelle Smith, the marketing manager for Carnival City.
Sonja and her doggy friend perform songs mainly in English and Afrikaans.
Handjies in die lug, Siyabonga Baba and Mighty God are just a few of the songs to be expected as the two entertain their fans.
The show takes place at 11am.
