50 WAYS … TO LEAVE YOUR LOVER


(Erin Fourie, Helen Vermaak, Tanya Nicolson & Daniel Rossouw)
Breakups, breakdowns, heartbreaks and breakaways! There are, according to Paul Simon, 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover Find out at the Rhumbelow Theatre.

Top KZN songsters Erin Fourie and Tanya Nicolson explore the highs and lows of relationship endings, as seen through the eyes of songwriters over the last 50 years. What better way to recover from a break-up than to write a song about it?

Popular music is filled with songs about separations, heartbreaks and good riddances. and these two ladies have made a collection of the best of them. From ABBA to Amy Winehouse, and from Tammy Wynette to Adele, with songs from musicals thrown into the mix, all aspects of breakups, both painful and funny, are given a new twist and a dynamic new sound. Accompanied by top KZN musicians Helen Vermaak and Daniel Rossouw, these ladies touch the heart and tickle the funny bone.

Fourie and Nicolson are both well-known on the KZN music circuit for their remarkable and unique vocal talents, and this is their first theatrical collaboration under the direction of veteran director Peter Mitchell.
