Audiences will delight in enjoying some of their favourite hits from the Andrew Lloyd Webber songbook in this power punch of a musical.
Some 25 songs from 55 years of the composer’s collaboration with some of the great lyricists in the modern music genre. Lloyd Webber may have had three wives in his personal life, but he has had at least ten lyricists in his musical harem.
What Music of the Night does, is provide a musical highway for four of our most seasoned musical theatre artists, Craig Urbani, Carly Graeme, Adrian Galliard and Stephanie Baartman, to take their glorious voices out for a high level full throttle ride.
It also affords an opportunity to introduce an extra ordinary new talent, Emma-Jean Galliard who is part of the father/daughter duo who has taken the internet by storm.

In 2020 their version of Time to Say Goodbye went viral in South America when the Prensa Ginebra Newspaper's Facebook Page published it saying erroneously that they were the son & granddaughter of Andrea Boccelli.
The Video has gone on to amass over 15 Million views on the Prensa Ginebra Facebook Page. This lead to a 90min live interview with Radio Tu which broadcasts all over South America.
Music of the Night takes a close look at the music you’ve come to love . All the obvious hits are there – Any Dream Will Do, I Don’t Know How to Love Him, Memory, Phantom of the Opera, Don’t Cry for Me Argentina and many more, along with some surprises.
There is also a cheeky peek at some of the tunes that are alarmingly similar to other people’s tunes, making for an evening to satisfy every theatre lover.
For example did you know that the song Memory owes a lot to Ravel’s Bolero ?
Overall, this is a loving tribute to the greatest living composer of musicals who has been substantially responsible for the creation of great musical franchises of all time.
South Africans love a little Lloyd Webber.
All packaged into a non-stop 80-minute gift box of musical treats spanning 6 decades.
