The sequel to Marc Lottering’s smash hit show Aunty Merle The Musical is here. Aunty Merle – It’s a Girl! opens at the Baxter on 29 November.
Nominated for four Fleur du Cap Theatre awards, Marc Lottering’s smash hit show Aunty Merle The Musical enjoyed no fewer than four critically acclaimed seasons.
And now the much-anticipated sequel is here: Aunty Merle – It’s a Girl! Merle’s daughter and son-in-law, Abigail and Alan, have been married for five years. They have an announcement to make. Excitement mounts in Belgravia Road, Athlone, and Merle simply cannot wait to be a first-time grandmother. The son-in-law is after all, as Aunty Merle puts it, “Bantry Bay-born”.
Expect high drama as a vibrant cast of 13 actors and a live band take to the Baxter stage from 22 November 2019 to 1 February 2020.
Produced by Anwar Mc Kay, Aunty Merle – It’s a Girl! is written by Marc Lottering and directed by Lara Foot. Music Director is Trevino Isaacs and Choreography is by Grant Van Ster.
The cast includes Marc Lottering, Royston Stoffels, Jennifer Steyn, Nicky Rebelo, Carmen Maarman, Zoleka Helesi, Rushney Ferguson, Julian Place, Sizwesandile Mnisi, Anzio September, Tashreeq de Villiers and Crystal Finck.
