Acclaimed international cabaret artist Tonya Koenderman is set to dazzle audiences with her latest show, Bassey and Me — a heartfelt tribute to the legendary Dame Shirley Bassey.

Rhumbelow Theatre will present this show as follows:

November 21 - Rhumbelow Northlands Bowling Club. Show starts 19h30

November 22 – Rhumbelow Umbilo. Show starts at 19h30

November 23 – Rhumbelow Umbilo. Show starts at 14h00

 

(Venues open 90 minutes before show for snacks/drinks)

After more than 60 years in show business, Dame Shirley Bassey remains an icon, and Bassey and Me celebrates her extraordinary journey from humble beginnings to international superstardom. The show features many of the timeless hits that defined her career, including Diamonds Are Forever, Goldfinger, Never Never Never, Big Spender, Nobody Does It Like Me, and This Is My Life, amongst others.

Koenderman not only delivers Bassey’s powerful songs but also narrates her story — the struggles, the heartbreaks, and the triumphs. She shares the personal impact Bassey had on her own life, recalling how a shy little girl with a big belting voice was inspired by Sundays spent listening to Bassey records over and over again. The show draws parallels between the two performers, highlighting the qualities that first drew Tonya to her idol.

Don’t miss this unforgettable tribute to one of the greatest voices of our time.
