BIG BOYS DON’T DANCE!

Two brothers will pull out all the stops to shake things up at the DHS Seabrooke’s Theatre in Durban when Ash and Bradley Searle present their critically acclaimed comedy Big Boys Don’t Dance – a show made up of energetic and jaw-dropping dance moves and hilarious antics.

The dancing brothers prove that, actually, big boys do dance, and they demonstrate just how manly dancing can be, especially when there’s a fantastic storyline tying it all together.

The show is a satirical look at the pre-wedding experiences of an average South African man with a less than macho past his comic brother won’t let him forget.

Ash from So You Think You Can Dance and Bradley, who recently starred in the musicals Peter Pan, Footloose and Pinnochio, twirl from gumboot and breaking to dirty dancing and acrobatics.

Big Boys Don’t Dance won a Standard Bank Ovation Award at the Grahamstown National Arts Festival in 2010. According to the Cue newspaper, the show is “a South African version of The Hangover meets Flashdance with all the technical perfection of a Broadway musical”.

Big Boys Don’t Dance runs at Seabrooke’s Theatre at DHS in St Thomas Road from the March 9 to 12 at 19h30. Tickets R60 booked on 031 277 1500 or email seabrooke’s@durbanhighschool.co.za for more information.
