Welcome to
The Playhouse Theatre

Celebrate the 75th birthday of Somerset West's Playhouse Theatre. With the Shiraz Band live on stage we will be enjoying a variety of musical theatre songs and memories. Special features feature the cast of THE SOUND OF MUSIC, CABARET and HAIRSPRAY for your entertainment!

A full length show where a group of poor actors attempt to retel all 209 Grimm fairy tales in one super duper mega story. Our two Narrators will transport you to a world of magic and laughter as the actors portraying these stories get lost and confused along the way as they try to perform multiple characters, trying to make sense of the chaos they`ve put themselves in.

Guaranteed laughter and nostalgia throughout the play with many funny references and spin-offs of your most beloved childhood fairytales await you as they were originally depicted.

Undoubtedly one of South Africa's favourite comedians and a firm favourite worldwide, BARRY HILTON'S humour comes with an unmistakable flavour: funny. Good, clean, family-friendly comedy fun dished out in generous portions that keep audiences coming back for more!

After breaking box office records and delighting audiences in the West-End, on Broadway and on the big screen since 1988, this smash hit musical-comedy has quite the legacy, and now we're bringing it to the playhouse for the first time!

Welcome to the 60s, where everyone's grooving to a brand-new sound! Enter our vivacious heroine Tracy Turnblad, who has big hair, a big heart, and big dreams to dance her way onto national TV, and into the heart of teen idol Link Larkin. When Tracy becomes a local star, she is able to use her newfound fame to fight for liberation, tolerance, and interracial unity in Baltimore. But can she win equality - and Link's heart - without denting her 'do?
