Producer Alistair Izobell has assembled a stellar ensemble comprising the award-winning musical performer, actor and choreographer, Loukmaan Adams;
Fleur du Cap winner, Terry Fortune,
ABSA KKNK Best Newcomer and
Kyknet Fiesta Best Upcoming Artist, Moenier Adams (aka Monox); suave vocalist from JAG-fame, Nur Abrahams; comic vocalist, Waseef Piekaan and the multiple award-winning actor, director and choreographer, Bongile Mantsai.
Izobell and Loukmaan Adams direct this brand new show, which features six versatile, slick and seasoned musicians brought together to combine rhythmic and vocal harmonising sounds under the musical direction of Camillo Lombard. Using non-musical instruments and objects,
Vocal is Lekka showcases popular songs which span all the decades starting from the 1920s with a fresh a cappella and acoustic approach and great melodic rhythms accompanied by charismatic and smooth choreography.
'Three Coins in the Fountain’, ‘Fever’, ‘Homeless’, ‘Reggae Nights’, ‘Don’t Worry Be Happy’ and ‘It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing’ are just some of the highlights of the bumper line-up.
“Music and entertainment lovers can expect an evening filled with humour and musical entertainment that will get your feet tapping, hands clapping and lips singing to the incredible harmonies of these multi-talented performers,” says Izobell.
Over the years Izobell and Adams have wowed audiences with their
Laurence Olivier Award-winning performances in the hit show,
Kat and the Kings by the legendary duo David Kramer and the late Taliep Petersen. The two have shared the stage on several occasions to full audiences and received great acclaim as individual artists. They have already become icons on the local music entertainment and theatre scenes.
With these combined talents,
Vocal is Lekka is set to keep audiences smiling and singing, maybe even dancing, over the summer. The show previews from 6 December, opens 9 December and runs for three weeks only until 7 January 2012 in the intimate setting of the Baxter Golden Arrow Studio at 20:15 with early Saturday performance at 17:30.
Ticket prices range from R90 to R120. There is a special performance on New Year’s Eve at 21:30 for R170 which includes entry to the popular Baxter party after the show as audiences welcome in the year.
