Curro Revue 2017-in celebration of our Rainbow Nation.

The sold-out show was performed at Mbombela Civic Theatre from October 17 to October 19.

MBOMBELA – Curro Nelspruit took the audience on a journey through the wonderful country last week with its production, This Land is my Land.

It included original works, popular songs and classic oldies such as “My African Dream”, “The Rain is Coming Down in Africa” and of course “Spirit of the Great Heart”, which got the audience singing along. Photos: Hennie Homann/HH Photography.

The revue was a treasure trove of singing, acting and dancing which showcased the amazing talent of Curro Nelspruit learners.

The production would not have been possible without tireless hours of rehearsals under the leadership of dedicated teachers Elza Vorster, Marietjie Viljoen and Nathan Roberts.
