Born To Perform Worldwide at The Lyric Theatre
This year original numbers written by the performers will be added to the show. These songs showcase the young talent at its best.
BUILDING on the success of their sell-out concerts in 2015 and 2016 and celebrating their fourth year, Born To Perform Worldwide (previously known as Born To Perform) now brings Jozi audiences their dynamic new production SHINE!
Taking the show to the next level, SHINE! will be on stage at The Lyric at Gold Reef City for three performances only on Saturday, September 15 at 7.30pm and Sunday, September 16 at 11am and 2.30pm.
Having seen the first Born To Perform Gala Concerts and recognising the potential and vision of Gemma and Matthew Marinus, Maestro Extraordinaire Bryan Schimmel has joined forces with them as co-creator and director for this year’s show and brings with him his signature ideas and expertise.
After having seen the wealth of talent at the auditions, the team has been able to put together a dazzling array of diverse young talent, not only as performers on stage but so too, as young choreographers and music arrangers to ensure SHINE! is going to be a show like no other.
Says Bryan Schimmel, “As someone who champions the development of young talent, I am thrilled to get behind Matthew and Gemma Marinus’s vision to create a platform where kids not only have a platform to be creative and expressive but also have a space where they can develop important life skills.”
Entertainment value will be high, featuring a spectrum of musical and choreographic styles that will take the audience on a journey from pop to hip-hop, from ballet to rock ’n roll, from opera to a classic Latin American hit Despacito which will be performed in 12 different languages.
This year, original numbers written by the performers will be added to the show. These songs showcase the young talent at its best, about current and relevant topics with strong positive messages to the youth.
Joining them on stage will be Idols winner Paxton, The Voice Winner Craig Lucas, The Voice Finalist Thembeka Mnguni and the hot new Latin sensation Miguel Pregueiro.
Popular Born To Perform star, ZINAH will be the MC for the performances.
