Vaudeville Burlesque Supper Club Theatre

Vaudeville, Cape Town’s uber entertainment destination, opens on the 15th December with an outstanding burlesque show in four acts that will leave patrons mesmerised. Top South African and international performers will, in true Vaudevillian tradition, present a multi genre theatrical offering that includes Olympic gymnasts, aerial acrobats, a hula hoop fire act, show girls, pole runners, tap dancers, Bboys and more. The circus arts and global street entertainment dominate, with the show embroidered by stunning visual art technology that interacts uniquely with the performance mix.

Vaudeville is a 300-seater supper club venue that not only offers a spectacular performance but includes a three-course dinner created by chef Andrea Foulkes and her team at DISH Food & Social whose famous fare is a sensory riot of flavour and colour. Between acts, Jinx, the fabulous 5 piece band led by Vaughn de Ville, will be providing the music - a blend of circus Balkan and oompah. Irit Noble, well known to Capetonians, will compère the show that is described as ‘Marlene Dietrich’s 1930’s Berlin-meets-Tarantino’. The outstanding theatrical team behind Vaudeville combines the creative talents of producers Will Hutton and Andrew Florenca of The Sunroom, and the well-known art director and party architect, Dirk Vervaeke. The Vaudeville venue also incorporates the Moroccan-themed Fez Club that is being re-launched by Andrew Lee from the Karma Lounge. Its convenient location will enable patrons to continue the party after each show.

Vaudeville has been conceptualised by Robert Sawyer and Tom Pearson-Adams of RSTPA Media (Pty) Ltd whose vision it is to create the Mother City’s most sought after nightspot. Sawyer, with 25 years experience in hotels, restaurants and bars, is more qualified than most to embark on a project of this nature. Having successfully floated his UK based entertainment group ‘Po Na Na’ in the 1990’s Robert has since turned the once unknown hotel The Farinet in Switzerland’s Verbier into the world’s number one Après Ski venue and Vaudeville will be his 100th venue opening. His business partner Tom Pearson-Adams comes with 15 years experience in and around the European music industry with numerous international broadcast and licensing credits including the first global Ministry Of Sound DVD and introducing the sales of the George V (Buddha Bar series) label to the UK. They are currently working on a number of European based projects and own the South African based book publishing company Outstanding 100.

Performances run throughout the festive season until July 2010, from Mondays to Saturdays at 8:15pm with tickets costing R350 to R395 per person that includes the show, a three course meal and free entry into The Fez. Booking has now opened for the New Year's Eve performance that starts at 9pm and costs R1,000 per person that includes a welcome drink on arrival, the 4 act show, a 4 course dinner, a complimentary glass of champagne and free entry into The Fez. All ticket and VIP Lounge bookings are via [email protected] or 0861 SUPPER.  For group bookings of ten or more, a 10% discount offer is available.
