The Luitingh Alexander Musical Theatre Academy (LAMTA) will present their dance production, Hollywood, from Wednesday June 19 to Saturday June 29 at Theatre On The Bay in Camps Bay.
Hollywood features an array of works choreographed by some of South Africa's leading names including LAMTA graduates Anna Olivier and Naoline Quinzin, the duo behind the Spring Awakening choreography; alongside Jared Schaedler, Duane Alexander, Brigitte Reeve Taylor, Michelle Reid, Sven Eric Muller, Zoë Aldridge, Ashley Searle, Robin van Wyk, Chesney Stanfield and Emile Petersen.
Audiences can expect an exploration of Hollywood's most loved genres - from the Golden Age of cinema, through the stylistic era of film noir to modern day romantic comedies. The production also takes a peek behind the scenes, touching on prevalent topics like the true cost of fame and fortune, Tinseltown politics and the ultimate sacrifices made by those seeking a place in Big Screen history.
Tickets cost from R150 to R250 through Webtickets or the box office on 021 438 3300. The show is suitable for all ages. Performances run Tuesday to Saturday at 7.30pm with matinees at 2.30pm on Saturdays. For pupils and dance studios wanting to secure group discounts, contact Ingrid on 066 564 1816.
