(The swashbuckling cast of “Buccaneers”)Ho Ho Ho and a bottle of rum – or any other party fare that might tickle yer fancy. uShaka Marine World is proud to present a swashbuckling sequel to last year’s extremely popular Buccaneers at the Upper Deck Restaurant.
Join the band of pirates at the Phantom Ship - put a shot across the bow, raise the good old Jolly Roger and broad for an evening of fun filled entertainment where the audience becomes part of the show. Our performing pirates are no longer marooned on the stage – they’ll be dancing with the audience and leaping onto tables. Staged numbers or sing-along moments are not requested, but expected!
Start your fun on the high seas with an introduction to Captain Morgan Freeman and Delilah Winterbottom. The Captain is actually quite fond of Delilah but the plot thickens as his ‘men’ are not who they appear to be. Patrons and pirates alike are faced with an enormous predicament…! Needless to say there’s a wedding, but who does the Captain marry after all?
Cast members play a multitude of different pirate pop stars - Michael Jackson, Axel Rose from Guns ‘n Roses, Bob Marley, Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton to name just a few. Rock to Bon Jovi’s Blaze of Glory, Duran Duran’s Wild Boys, Sweet’s Ballroom Blitz, Deep Purple’s Smoke On The Water and Time Warp from The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Raise yer glasses to Lady Gaga’s Pockerface or Respect from Kelly Clarkson.
The all new cast is made up of Christopher Dudgeon as Captain Morgan Freeman, Thokozani Nzima as Fleck, Byron-Lee Olivato as Flea, Melissa Allison as Delilah Winterbottom, Durban-born Donnagh Roberts as Scurvy Samuels and circus professional Tyra Nielsen as Olga Rub-Yer-Schnoz-In-It.
Written and directed by Neels Claasen the creator of previous Upper Deck productions such as The Best Party Show…Ever!, The Party Police and Ocean Warriors Mascot Show. Musical Direction is by Heidi Edeling and choreography by Eloise Clasen and Shelley Adriaanzen. Buccaneers – The Sequel also includes a four-piece band lead by Trevor Harper on keyboards, Francois Steyn on drums, guitars, banjo and harmonicas and Durban musos Paul Cassells on bass, drums and guitar and Andy Turrell on lead guitar.
