Preview: LAMTA’s new dance production Vintage Jukebox celebrates the spirit of the Roaring Twenties

There is great excitement around VINTAGE JUKEBOX – the new dance production by LAMTA (Luitingh Alexander Musical Theatre Academy) in Camps Bay. This production is a celebration and tribute to the swinging 1920s- Prohibition days when jazz music flourished and there was energetic dance, with flappers and Jazz Age revellers having fun in clubs and speakeasies. I loved LAMTA’s dance show, The Beatles Covered / Uncovered (it also toured to Johannesburg) and am excited to see this new show. In conceptualising the show, LAMTA has once again, brought on board, eminent South African choreographers to create dance for each song/number, featured in the show. The poster is gorgeous and it looks like it is going to be another wow LAMTA dance show. Read on for more:

LAMTA’s new dance production VINTAGE JUKEBOX celebrates the spirit of the Roaring Twenties…Welcome to the era of the speakeasy, flappers, prohibition and jazz music!

Quickly positioning itself as South Africa’s premiere Musical Theatre Academy, LAMTA follows up on the wonderful success of their previous dance production, ‘Come Together: The Beatles Covered / Uncovered, and promises to be another exhilarating evening at the theatre.

VINTAGE JUKEBOX features a large cast of talented LAMTA ‘’Triple Threat’ performers and showcases the choreography of some of South Africa’s top talent; Michelle Reid, Sean Bovim, Jared Schaedler, Adele Blank, Liam Gillespie, Shameelah Kinnear, Brigitte Reeve, Robin van Wyk, Duane Alexander and Ashley Searle. It’s a high-octane, nostalgic, retro-journey through the music and culture of the 1920’s – but with a 21st Century twist. From reimagined contemporary tunes to jazzy ballads and bluesy vocals, the show offers something for everyone!

According to LAMTA Director, Anton Luitingh, the show is sure to appeal to both fans of 1920’s culture and to newcomers of the genre alike. “We’ve worked hard to create a production that captures both the spirit and energy of the era, whilst also bringing our own fresh and innovative approach to the choreography and staging”. “Whether you’re a die-hard Baby Boomer or a curious Millennial, we guarantee that you’ll be bopping your head, tapping your feet, and humming along as you are swept into the world of VINTAGE JUKEBOX”, says Luitingh.

The production will run from the June 14-24 2023, at the majestic Theatre on The Bay, in Camps Bay. Tickets for VINTAGE JUKEBOX are now on sale through Webtickets.
