The National Children’s Theatre (NCT) in Parktown is set to reinvent the classic tale of Puss in Boots from March 6 to April 3.
The show is set in a circus of dreams and will teach children (aged three and up) that everyone can find a friend and dreams can come alive.
With an experienced team and lively cast, the audience will be enthralled.
Ivor Jones is the director and choreographer while Sarah Roberts is the set and costume designer and Christine Ludwig is the musical director.
Eleanore Godfroy of the theatre said, “The musical-based show is set to be a joyful interpretation of an all-time classic tale given a fresh twist and update. The play tells the story of an ingenious cat who wants to make his owner happy.”
According to Jones, Puss in Boots appeals to anyone between the ages of four and 40. “The production features popular music which people of all ages can relate to,” said Jones.
The show features familiar cast members Thokozani Jiyane, who played in Sparky (2021) and Mr Popper’s Penguins (2016), and Jay Hlatshwayo who played in Duck for President (2019) and Khokho’s Treasure (2017). Other newbies to the National Children’s Theatre include Laura Kleynhans, Khosi Mkonza and Nathan Hammond.
The sing-along production allows for much audience participation and promises to be a fun day out for a whole family.
Shows will take place on Saturdays and Sundays at 09:30 and 16:00.
