Queen of the Ballet

Queen at the Ballet uses the athleticism of rock ballet en-pointe in a high impact production that will entertain people of all ages.

The show is packed with high artistic standards, innovative & original choreography, and powerful performances from the strong cast of dancers.Queen at the Ballet captures the story of the great pretender, Freddie Mercury, told through the medium of dance. Set to over 20 of his greatest hits (including ‘Who wants to live forever’, ‘Another one bites the dust’, ‘We Will Rock You’ ‘Love of My Life’, ‘Killer Queen’ and many more), viewers are taken on a journey through the fascinating life of one of the world’s greatest singers.

The audience can expect to see tender pas de deux interspersed with exciting rocking group numbers performed by over 20 of South Africa’s top dancing talents.Michael Hankinson’s exquisite, recorded orchestral arrangements of Queen’s music are further enhanced by the live gymnastic vocals of Johannesburg’s renowned rocker Cito (WONDERboom & Jesus Christ Superstar fame), Daniel Fisher (Fiddler on the Roof) and Angela Kilian (Sunset Boulevard & Evita) makes a special guest appearance singing ‘Barcelona’ with Cito.

Bovim’s production offers a powerful fusion of fashion and dance, brought to life through collaborations with internationally recognized South African designers Malcolm Klûk & CGDT, Craig Port, Gavin Rajah and Ian West.
