The Mzansi Ballet's 'ABBA Show: A Cinderella Story' is a festive and unique blend of ballet, flamenco, and Pantsula, delighting audiences with its catchy tunes and energetic performances.
The ABBA Show: A Cinderella Story is currently running at the Pieter Toerien Montecasino Main Theatre, Johannesburg until 19 January. The Mzansi Ballet has attempted to bring about a whimsical show with the music of the 1970s pop group ABBA . 'It’s a ballet, but in a more populist way in that it has audience participation, it has the opportunity of singing along.
People just know the music so well, so it is much more festive and perfectly placed for this time of year,' CEO and Director at Mzansi Ballet Dirk Badenhorst told. 'The sales have been really good. We believe that for the last three weekends, this coming weekend included, the sales will improve still. I’m hoping we will achieve great sales,’ said Badenhorst. The show is a tale that brings together the fiery rhythms of flamenco, the elegance of ballet, and the high-energy moves of Pantsula. 'It was a much higher than expected attendance and that was then followed by the show that is currently running,' shared Badenhorst. In the midst of all the dancing, the Mzansi Ballet thought of the less fortunate as they encouraged their patrons to donate gifts, which were to be placed on stage during the interval of their shows. The initiative, now in its third year, follows the success of their previous gift donation initiative. 'We actually have a Friends of Mzansi Ballet table where we are raising money for the company and the schools in our development programs. 'We are selling gifts at the theatre that people can purchase and place under the Christmas tree. At the end of the run on the 19th of January, we will distribute these gifts to orphanages'
