Since it’s opening in May this year, the fresh and revitalized JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT has seen audiences flock to the theatre where the production plays to sold-out houses.

With a stellar creative team and an exceptionally talented cast you won’t leave feeling short changed by this vibrant offering. This is the best staging of this musical we have seen to date. Praise for the success of this staging must go to Anton Luitingh and Duane Alexander for their direction, as they have managed to breathe new life into a show that has over the years become a bit stale. Shocking Joseph back to life with such verve takes vision!

You have until 29 November 2025 to go see this latest and fully revitalised staging of JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT at Theatre On The Bay. Tickets can be booked through Webtickets.

Beverley Brommert describes THE VULGARIANS as a “shrewd social satire… cunningly blended with psychological insight (add humorous voyeurism for good measure)”. She regards it “another Viljoenesque ray of darkness to disconcert and delight audiences, particularly those of the non-squeamish and open-minded variety”.

THE VULGARIANS runs at the Baxter Theatre’s Masambe Theatre until 22 November 2025. It carries an age restriction of 18. Tickets can be booked online through Webtickets.

Marina Griebenow sat down for a chat with Louis Viljoen, Emily Child and Nicholas Pauling during rehearsals for THE VULGARIANS.

“Louis’ work insists that meaning lies not in grand gestures or moral resolutions but in the precision of thought, the tension between intellect and impulse, cruelty and compassion. For Nick and Emily, the challenge is perpetual, and the pleasure inexhaustible. What emerges, from their conversation as much as from their performances, is a deep mutual trust —the kind that allows art to be fearless, exacting and alive.”

THE VULGARIANS is onstage at the Baxter Theatre’s Masambe Theatre from 4 to 22 November 2025. It carries an age restriction of 18. Tickets can be booked online through Webtickets.
