Joburg Theatre, in collaboration with The Hugh Masekela Heritage Foundation, will usher in Africa Month with a heart-warming celebration of Hugh Masekela’s theatrical music in an exclusive four-performance season on The Mandela stage, from Thursday, May 3rd to Sunday, May 6th.

A lot is known about South African music legend Hugh Masekela, but less about his affection and contribution to musical theatre in South Africa.  His early years found him involved in the productions of the African Jazz and Variety road show and the internationally acclaimed King Kong – Africa’s first Jazz opera. 

As we celebrate Africa and Worker’s month, this tribute will showcase some of his best known theatrical songs and compositions. It will feature contributions from some of his most loved collaborators and will shine a spotlight on South African talent. They will be joined by a select group of eminent musicians who worked with Bra Hugh, as well as his members of the most recent Masekela touring band.

This promises to be a celebration like no other!

Tickets range from R150 to R300. These are available by visiting www.joburgtheatre.com or calling 0861 670 670, as well as through Webtickets.  For group bookings of 10 or more, please contact the theatre directly on (011) 877 6853/6815.
