(Lisa Bobbert performs before Aaron McIlroy and several astonished orchestra members!)
MacBob, Durban City Orchestra and Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre are delighted and extremely excited to present some more… Classical Comedy.
The show will run at the Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre from November 22 to December 3, 2023.
Following the remarkable success of last year’s season, Macbob Productions, the Durban City Orchestra and the Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre management are delighted to present some more Classical Comedy – the madcap outrageous musical comedy collaboration, which comes to the Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre on UKZN campus to welcome the festive season, with a short ten performance run.
Join Durban’s own Aaron Mcilroy and Lisa Bobbert as they once more boldly go where no right-minded comedians should ever venture - the sacred space of The Orchestra. No sonata is sacred. No movement, unmortified. As they migrate from Bach to Beethoven … to Bedlam. A musical celebration fit for the whole family, guaranteed to bring a chuckle to Tchaikovsky, a roar to Radetsky and a burp to Brahms!
Classical Comedy is once more directed by the multi-talented Darren King and choreographed by Daisy Spencer.
Lisa Bobbert enthuses: “For ages we have wanted to have fun with an orchestra musical. There are just so many delicious opportunities for great gags and brilliant music. It is something which is seldom done anywhere because it is a huge undertaking involving so many people! We so incredibly chuffed that the Durban City Orchestra is so game and want to go on this crazy unchartered adventure with us again. We had the most fun last time and can’t wait to do it all again this year!”
Billy Suter in his review of the production last year, said: "This joyous new show is a perfect package for the silly season, and it was an inspired move by the seasoned team of singer-comics to share the limelight with the Durban City Orchestra. These 40-plus musicians provide not only a good range of music and costume change time for Lisa and Aaron but shine every bit as brightly as Durban’s darling duo.”
Don't miss this unforgettable musical comedy Cadenza! Er ... Extravaganza! Classical Comedy has performances on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from November 22 to December 3, 2023.
Tickets R200 (R180 pensioners and students) booked through Computicket.
