Mzansi Ballet’s The Queen Show Returns

Mzansi Ballet is set to dazzle Cape Town audiences once again with the triumphant return of “The Queen Show,”
a captivating celebration of ballet and dance set to the iconic music of Queen.

This production is an extraordinary experience for the whole family, making it an ideal choice for year-end celebrations.

[LISTEN HERE]: Cape Talk’s Crystal Orderson chatted to Mzansi Ballet’s Dirk Badenhorst ahead of The Queen Show‘s run at Theatre On The Bay.

Choreographed by the esteemed Angela Revie and Michael Revie, renowned for their international acclaim and artistic prowess, this fresh and vibrant production cleverly fuses artistic brilliance and the timeless tunes of Queen.

Joshua Williams (image attached), the recipient of a scholarship at the 2016 South African International Ballet Competition in Cape Town, spent four years training at the prestigious Tanz Akademie Zurich in Switzerland. He is now returning to perform one of the lead roles in this exciting production. Mr. Williams became a member of Mzansi Ballet in 2020. This homecoming to Cape Town exemplifies a true ‘giving back’ and sharing of his immense talent and skill with Cape Town, and South Africa. He is joined by professional company dancers from Mzansi Ballet, including the star from Cuba, Javier Monier Jnr, Mahlatse Sachane, Veronica Louw, Kiana Prinsloo, Bronwyn Craddock, Nicolas Laubscher and Angela Revie and 3 students from LAMTA.

Mzansi Ballet, endearingly known as the “Nation’s Ballet” having performed, taught and trained in all 9 South African provinces has carved a distinctive niche in the world of dance by making ballet accessible to all. The vision is to break boundaries, reinvent, and express artistry through dance, always striving for excellence and relevance. Dirk Badenhorst, the Director of Mzansi Ballet, emphasizes the importance of resilience and discipline in the journey to becoming a technically skilled and captivating dancer.
