When Ian von Memerty , “Emperor of Musical Theatre”, and Vivienne Lawrence “Queen of Dance”, joined hands the result was bound to be a dance of delight and drama – a tango of tense passion and sinuous sensuality.
As they both celebrate turning Fantastic 50 they share for the first time, their uplifting story of triumph over tragedy, their 25 year partnership is brought to enthralling theatrical life where the bling of the ballroom meets irreverent joie de vivre.
Ian’s skill with the hugely successful A Handful of Keys, and his experience as the presenter of Strictly Come Dancing and the judge on SA’s Got Talent – have shaped a show that is as enthralling as it is entertaining, and as inspirational as it is invigorating.
Tickets for Fantastic 50! at the Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre on the University of KwaZulu-Natal Howard College campus from November 11 to 22 can be booked at Computicket outlets, telephonically at 0861 915 8000, or online at www.computicket.com.
