Lauren Laing starred in Dolphins by Starlight at uShaka Marine World from 14th - 18th December 2011
and brought audiences to their feet with her stellar performances. Backed by the exceptional vocal talents of Samantha Landers, Kirsten Dey, Josslyn Hlenti, Natalie Shama, Brendon Mendes and Bradley Marshall, and musical director Shemual Mahabeer with a twelve piece band, the show was spectacular.
KickstArt’s Christmas production of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves is a captivating pantomime written and directed by Steven Stead. The sets are magical and the dwarves are genius thanks to exceptional talents of Greg King. Peter Court excels as the hilariously evil Queen Malicia and Lyle Buxton and Georgina Mabbett give enchanting performances as Prince Valiant and Snow White. The entire production is a delight! It runs till the 8th January 2011.
