(Godfrey Johnson)Award-winning performer Godfrey Johnson returns to Durban’s Rhumbelow Theatre with two great shows: The Songs of Noel Coward and Jacques Brel and The Jukebox Favourites.
In From Coward to Brel, The songs of Noel Coward and Jacques Brel, Johnson will perform highlights from his Fleur du Cap nominated shows, The Shadow of Brel and Flirting with Coward, both directed by Sanjin Muftic. Johnson has been hailed the most exciting interpreter of Brel and Coward that South Africa has heard in over a decade.
The Johnson Jukebox is the only show in South Africa where the audience can choose the entire programme. Every night is different. Songs by Leonard Cohen, Madonna, Depeche Mode, Tears For Fears, Godfrey Johnson, Tom Lehar, Billy Joel and many more, all done in Johnson's unique style and filled with outrageous humour.
In 2007, Johnson won The Fleur du Cap Award for best performance in a cabaret and has been nominated twice for his one-man show, Flirting with Coward and The Shadow of Brel, both directed by Sanjin Muftic. In 2010, he performed with Pieter-Dirk Uys in the award-winning Bambi Sings the FAK and other struggle Anthems at The Fugard Theatre.
Johnson has performed over 20 one-man shows and has appeared at every arts festival in South Africa as well as performing in Montreal, Amsterdam and London. He has starred in numerous films, television programmes and musicals, most recently David Moore's Once Upon a Road Trip and Robert Silke's The Satyr of Springbok Heights. He also directed the musical The Cape Town Show in 2010 and 2011.
