It’s the Guy Butler Hall at The 1820 Settlers' Monument in Grahamstown. Three divas: Melanie Scholtz, Zanne Stapelberg and Gloria Bosman. Now you can see where DIVALICIOUS is derived.
A colourful and magical night of pure musical talent for the both purists and occasional revellers.
Mzansi Youth
Choir graced the stage with a rendition of Homeless,
while Conductor Ralf Schmitt can certainly pat himself on the back for a job
most certainly well done. The choir later provided backup vocals for the
headlining trio of Scholtz, Stapelberg and Bosman.
Although
most of the show was spectacular, there were (as always) a few flat notes,
although they were quickly fixed.
The choir’s
superb musical and theatrical support in a stimulating performance of African Dream added to the spectacle and
they brought an additional superlative to the entire production.
Bosman and
Scholtz’s heart-warming duet of Malaika
was polished off with Bonkani Dyer’skeyboards and Juan Oosthuizen’s expansive guitar
solo.
The show
ended on an overwhelming high note, no pun intended—and the longest standing
ovation.
It was indeed Divalicious!
