TOUCH OF CLASS

Westville Theatre Club gets feet tapping with show running from February 3 to 7.

The Westville Theatre Club presents a revival of their popular show A Touch of Class, for an evening filled with music that promises to get your feet tapping. Songs include titles from Celine Dion, Elton John, Diana Ross, Rihanna, Josh Groban, Shakira and many more.

In his review for artSMart (extracts of which follow) on December 14, Maurice Kort described the show as “Class indeed!”:

… “The Westville Theatre Club may be an amateur dramatic society, but their shows continue to be very professional. No wonder they are possibly one of the oldest surviving "Amdrams" in the country, certainly in KwaZulu-Natal. This is once more evident in their latest offering by first-time Director Jerryn Fosteras. He has compiled a show using a cast of eleven singers, some being Club stalwarts and others bright new talent, worthy additions to the club. The eight ladies and three men of the cast perform the well compiled programme in various combinations or in solo numbers starting with I Need a Hero by all the ladies which gives a taste of the polished performances to come.”

… “A Touch of Class certainly lives up to its title, from so many aspects. Besides the clever choice of programme and top class singers, so much is added to the classiness of the production by the costumes (Jerryn Fosteros again, Kevin Hillier and Lynda Hoddinott), jewellery (thanks to Barbara McMillan) and hair styles, not omitting the backdrop already mentioned.
