The show stars everybody’s favourite famous feline in footwear, along with a host of fabulous new characters. Puss in Boots offers the best in family entertainment this winter holiday.
Written and directed by Steven Stead and designed by Greg King, the story of Puss in Boots is brought to life by a stellar cast – Earl Gregory as the booted feline, Ilse Klink as the good fairy Calypso Honeybunch, Michael Richard playing the evil shape-shifting goblin wizard Grimbsy Withergood, Sean John Louw as the hapless miller’s son Tom Marzipan, Darren King as Mother Merry Marzipan and Zak Hendricks, Londiwe Dhlomo-Dhlamini, Yamikani Mahaka-Phiri and Caitlin Kilburn as some of Puss’ friends. This extravagant stage production is choreographed by Janine Bennewith, and is under the musical direction of Rowan Bakker.
“Following the resounding success of Shrek, The Musical, we are excited to bring this legendary pantomime to Gold Reef City. It’s an enchanting winter pantomime to be enjoyed these holidays by the entire family, not just the kids. We are also delighted upon hearing the recent news of KickstArt Production’s, ten well deserved Naledi nominations for Shrek The Musical. Staging another all-star cast of highly experienced panto performers lead by Steven Stead and his production team was an easy decision for us,” said Noeleen Bruton, Director of Marketing for Tsogo Sun.
