Prepare for a vibrant and uplifting spectacle! The creators of Show Me How You Burlesque, Sister Act and Hairspray invite theatre lovers to a dazzling new jukebox musical, Happy Days Are Here Again… Again!.
It promises a riotous celebration of life, brimming with glitz, infectious energy and irresistible tunes. Catch this limited run of just eight performances at The Playhouse Theatre in Somerset West, where Scrumpy Holly proudly presents two accomplished Playhouse directors transformed into fabulous drag queens, joined by iconic dancers and singers for a feel-good extravaganza of comedy and pizzazz!
Belinda Boutique (Darryl Spijkers) is a mature single Jewish woman who lives for her cat and dog, her sewing machine and many cups of coffee. She owns a rundown costume shop in the small town of Bonnievale and is battling to make ends meet. Her only company are the household items that come alive, including a shady lamp, a flashing fridge and a sassy cactus.
When Belinda is issued an eviction notice by the local policeman (Blaine Coetzee) her talented high-flying drag-artist friend Scrumpy Holly (Jon-paul Ruschenbaum) is summoned to help her avoid being sent to the old-age home. They get up to no good and get themselves into strange situations, but are still able to reflect on the good times they shared and muse everything through a thumping collection of songs!
The playlist includes Dolly Parton, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Kinky Boots, Mama Mia, Chicago, Moulin Rouge, some ’90s pop and more. There is also a surprise performance from local rock icon Angie Mitchell.
Sentimental and sassy, this musical sitcom features innuendo and choice language, so an age restriction of 16 is suggested. Perfect for parties of friends who can enjoy a drink while laughing out loud!
Tickets are available on Webtickets. The showopens with specials on Tuesday 20 May for over 60s and Wednesday 21 May for Ladies Night. Official show dates are Friday 23, Saturday 24, Wednesday 28, Friday 30 and Saturday 31 May.
