‘Musical Chairs’ heads to Cape Town for a five-day run

Musical Chairs, a dance-theatre production, will be performing in Cape Town from August 19 to 23, 2025. The performance features actor and dancer Hungani Ndlovu, among a cast that includes Yemimah Jacobs, Jamie-Lee Jansen, Alain "Hurrikane" Lauture, and Angela "Angyil" McNeal. The Locksmiths Collective and Rush Productions presented the show, which delves into themes of social media, relationships, and the pressure to find belonging in the digital age.

Drawing from South African street dance styles like Pantsula and Bhujwa, as well as American styles such as hip-hop, Campbellocking, and popping, the production combines various dance forms with music to explore identity, relationships, community, and the impact of digital lives on wellbeing. Created by a multidisciplinary team consisting of Genesis Shirindza, Ndlovu, and Sipho Didiza, the show previously toured Johannesburg last year. Performances are scheduled to start at 7:30 PM.
