Emperors has the entertainment lined up

With the country still in the grips of icy weather, why not spend an evening at Emperor's Palace where it's warm.

There are a number of shows on offer this month to cater to every taste.

Afrogroove Sunday Chillas

Round of the weekend with the AfroGroove Sunday Chillas from 4pm to 8pm every Sunday.

You are invited to relax to soothing urban jazz, in the exclusive Marc Anthony’s Cigar Lounge, which will see you tapping your feet and singing along to some “deep rooted indigenous sounds”.

The show will showcase a repertoire of songs and cover songs from the late Mariam Makeba, Busi Mhlongo and other legendary musicians who helped shape and grow the genre worldwide.

Entrance is free but no under 18s will be allowed in.

Thank You for the Music, A tribute to ABBA, Bee Gees & Queen

ABBA, Queen and The Bee Gees are three of the most influential pop and rock groups of all time.

This spectacular Barnyard Theatre Production takes you on a trip through space and time in the 70s and 80s when glitz, glam and some of the greatest pop tunes ever written emerged.

The show runs until August 30, at 8pm from Tuesday to Saturday and 2pm on Sunday in the Barnyard Theatre.

Beautiful Beautiful is described as “a spectacular fusion of beautiful showgirls, spectacular sets and costumes, and a medley of the most loved music sung by incredible SA talent.”

It’s a beautiful production set to international production standards to wow audiences.

This authentic Casino Extravaganza presents tastefully topless shows on Thursday, Friday and Saturday late evening, and at 3pm on Sunday.

Hey Now! Hey Now Now!

Monday is a public holiday so why not enjoy a tribute to some of the greatest alternative 80s music of all time on Sunday night at 8pm.

Hey Now! Hey Hey Now! will be on the Barnyard Theatre for a show which will rock you to the core and has been described as containing “elements of real Rock ‘n Roll” and is therefore not for sensitive viewers.

This cutting edge rock show includes the music of The Cure, Sisters of Mercy, The Cult, U2, The Pixies, Depeche Mode, Violent Femmes, The Clash, Talking Heads, New Order, Simple Minds, Bauhaus, The Jam, The Police, The Smiths and Duran Duran.

Nataniël – After Animals

Singer, songwriter, author and entertainer Nataniël brings his latest stage creation, After Animals, to the Theatre Of Marcellus from August 20.

Inspired by his travels and love for both classic and contemporary art, the show takes place in the not-so-distant future and begins on the night when, during a secret ceremony, the last animal on earth gets slaughtered and eaten.

The already fragile world immediately starts changing, from the forests to the cities, from the homes of families to the hearts of the most powerful individuals.

This forms the backdrop for Nataniël’s latest stories (in both English and in Afrikaans) and songs.

Dark, dramatic, fantastical, funny and surprising, After Animals is billed as “a theatrical event not to be missed!”

The all-male cast includes Nicolaas Swart (vocals) , newcomer Francois Joubert (vocals), Martin van Heerden (dancer), Bradley Dreyer (acrobat), Charl du Plessis (keyboards), Juan Oosthuizen (guitar), Werner Spies (bass) and Hugo Radyn (drums).

A highly original and ambitious wardrobe, inspired by sculpture and origami, is being created by multi-award winner, Floris Louw.

The staging is designed by Nataniël with sets and props created by Nadine Minnaar and Stephan Kruger.

Lighting is by Nataniël and Kevin Stannet.

The show starts at 8.30pm and the show runs from on Wednesday to Saturday until September 27.

Blu Blood’s Kings and Queens of Comedy is one of the country’s leading comedy brands and is set to the East Rand by storm.

The Royal Council of Laughter has declared all of Africa a comedy monarch with some of the continent’s brightest and funniest comedians set to take laughter and hilarity to the next level.

The show starts at 8pm in the Centre Court on August 29.
