Jock of the Bushveld - The musical

The Masters of Musicals, Packed House Productions, producers of the classic hits The Sound of Music, My Fair Lady, Fiddler on the Roof, The King and I and the original South African hits, Dis Hoe Dit Was – Die Steve Hofmeyr Storie, Knypie Oppie Kant, African Queens, Ons Vir Jou and Shaka Zulu – The Musical, in proud association with Absa, now brings you Jock of the Bushveld – The Musical.




Jock of the Bushveld – The Musical will be presented at The Mandela at the Joburg Theatre Complex and opens on 4 September 2010.

After the somewhat success of Shaka Zulu - The musical at the State Theatre, ABSA is proud to bring yet another musical, which is intended to be another success. I was personally not really moved by Shaka Zulu as i felt it was not strong enough, considering the multiple productions we have seen of the same tale.

Deon Opperman's music is always phenominal but the acting was soft and very Western, which kinda took away the Zulu feeling i had anticipated from the show.

I however, can't wait for the opening of Jock and we'll see if there's hope to South African Musical as i have given up after the disasterous Boys in the Photograph (which i will not talk about now).

I 'll keep updating you guys more on this show and let me know if there's anything specific you would like to know-
