Allergic to Cats? Sick of Sing Alongs? The ideal Christmas remedy is here!

“Spoof Full of Sugar” surges onto stage at the Old Mutual Theatre on the Square in Sandton from 23rd November for a short season until 31st December 2009.

Take a slice of musical theatre, a healthy dollop of broad humor and a pinch of murder mystery and you have the recipe for this Christmas’ hilarious musical revue “Spoof Full of Sugar”,

Acclaimed performer Malcolm Terrey directs the crème de la crème of South African talent in this hilarious and totally irreverent satirical musical revue where familiar show tunes blend with outrageous comedy in this tongue-in-cheek look at the seedier side of South African Show Business and Celebrities.

Nothing in sacred in the razor sharp look at the Entertainment industry, with a crooked finger being pointed at models, agents, critics, celebrities, large scale musicals, sex shows, TV presenters, socialites, the SABC, the tabloid press….and more!

Says Malcolm; “Musical revue is a tricky “animal” and the cast have to work together as a team both on stage and off. The show is fast moving with thirty odd wig and costume changes so everyone has to be disciplined and organised whilst still retaining a sense of fun that will be infectious to an audience … not easy.”

He continues “ In the case of “Spoof Full Of Sugar” I have been blessed with a cast who are everything you could ask for … funny, attractive, talented and highly professional in their approach. However, I still shout at them  … because I can !!!! Me, a control freak … never !!!”

Audiences will relish seeing the ever popular actor, Brandon Auret (District 9, Isidingo, Hansie-The Movie) back onto the musical stage after a hiatus, alongside the incredible talent of Ntsepa Pitjeng (Top 10 Idols finalist, Muvhango, Madiba Magic), Dianne Simpson (Sound of Music, My Fair Lady, Generations) and Pieter Bosch Botha (Noises off, Dames en Here, Villa Rosa). The cast will be led by the deft Dawid Boverhoff (Footloose, Saturday Night Fever, Madiba Magic) as Musical Director.

No one is safe from the eagle eye of the SPOOF team – if they’re famous and they’re in the public eye they’ll make it into the show.  Some of the South African Celebrities making it into the script include Noelene, Barry Ronge, Nicky Greenwall, Debra Patta, FHM Models, Joost vd Westhuizen, Steve Hofmeyr, Gwen Gill to name but a few.

Says Producer Andrew Ross, “I am excited to be involved in this production as I believe that South Africans are ready to laugh at themselves in a good natured way through Malcolm Terrey’s razor sharp wit. What better time than Christmas for audiences to enjoy an evening of poking fun at those celebrities in the public eye that we know and love”.
