Enjoy a fun, lighthearted musical at the NCT
PARKTOWN – National Children's Theatre opens up its stage to a Freckleface beauty.
The National Children’s Theatre (NCT) kickstarts its 2017 season with an upbeat family musical that has a simple but heartwarming message – accept the skin you’re in.
Step inside the world of Freckleface Strawberry, who will do anything to get rid of her freckles.
This funny, witty, entertaining musical will run at the NCT until 13 April.
This production, which has been made possible by the last part of a R2-million grant from the National Lotteries Commission, is based on the best-selling book by actress, Julianne Moore.
Freckleface Strawberry The Musical, tells the story of a young, red-haired girl with freckles, who is being teased by her school friends.
She tries everything to make herself look like others as she is so embarrassed by the spots that won’t rub off, the hair colour that won’t wash out and the makeup that doesn’t work.
In desperation, she comes to school in a ski mask. With the assistance of her helpful and loving friends, Freckleface eventually learns that everyone is different and that’s what makes everyone special.
The delightful songs, Little Freckleface Strawberry, I Like Danny, Kid in the Mask, Be Yourself, Basketball, and When You Got Friends, will have the audience bopping in their seats.
The upbeat energy of this feel-good show with memorable characters will touch your heart, charm you with its message and have you dancing out of the theatre at its conclusion.
Professional, talented actors will keep both children and adults delighted and enthralled. The message is friendship, acceptance and discovering that being different is what makes us unique.
