Joburg will experience the award-winning show, which was described as “part theatre, part dance, part rock concert and part construction site” by BBC UK.

It features high-energy dance, theatrical performance and live music performed by a cast of six dancers and two musicians, who will bring a steelworks to life in a fast-paced, unstoppable spectacular that is the perfect show for anyone.

Tap Dogs is the winner of 15 international awards including an Olivier Award (UK), an Obie Award (New York) and a Pegasus Award (Spoleto Festival in Italy).

It is a 75-minute show combining the strength and power of workmen with the precision and talent of tap dancing.

Whether they are in water, upside down or jumping through scaffolding, the Tap Dogs have been performing to the beat of their own drum since their world premiere at the Sydney Theatre Festival in January 1995.
