(Marianthe
Panas & Bernlee Frick)
A Nick Wium Production, Listen, coming to Rhumbelow Theatre
Durban from February 8 to 10, 2019, is a collaboration between Wium, his Durban
band Shizam, and teenage musical theatre sensations Marianthe Panas and Bernlee
Frick.
This show had its debut at the 2017 Hilton
Arts Festival.
An ‘easy’ power ballad singer, the
16-year-old Marianthe’s mature, interpretive singing and incredible vocal range
have made her a sought-after performer. Marianthe’s powerful rendition of the
Dream Girls hit song, Listen, which
Beyoncé catapulted into status as one of history’s Musical Theatre greats, and
her soulful version of Christina Aguilera’s Burlesque hit, Something’s Got a Hold Of Me, are only two of the treats on offer.
The review on artSMart comments: “Panas is
an incredible talent. She’s not just a great singer with an impressive range
but she brings a strong dramatic component to her performance … She gave the
right feel of gentleness and sincerity to Don’t
Cry for Me Argentina and her I Don’t
Know How to Love Him was a sure-fire audience favourite ... and she looked
terrific!”
Panas is supported by the talented
18-year-old Bernelee Frick, who delivers a sensual rendition of Cher’s Welcome to Burlesque and an emotionally
stirring You Must Love Me.
The almost tangible synergy between the
Shizam band members – sought-after session drummer, Alwyn Singh; quick-fingered
guitarist, Shyane Kistensamy; seasoned and highly-respected bassist, Sebastian
Gilchrist; and über experienced pianist Nick Wium - adds a fresh dimension to
every Musical Theatre hit in this revue.
Listen runs from February 8 to 10 with shows on Friday and Saturday at
20h00 and on Sunday at 14h00 and 18h30. (Venue
