David Kramer’s award-winning musical Ver In Die Wêreld Kittie returns to Cape Town for a limited run at The Blik.
Charting the fascinating international success story of South African folk singer Josef Marais and his wife Rosa de Miranda, the production premiered at the 2023 KKNK (Klein Karoo Nasionale Kunstefees) to rapturous responses and great acclaim. "Ver In Die Wêreld Kittie is inspired by a true story that few South Africans are aware of," says David Kramer.
Ver In Die Wêreld Kittie was awarded the kykNET Fiësta Award for Beste Musiekgedrewe Produksie / Best Musical Production; the Kanna toekenning/Award for Beste Musiekaanbieding / Best Music Production 2023 as well as the Kanna toekenning / Award for Best Ensemble 2023.
The musical has excitingly expanded for its first full run at The Blik. Performed in English and Afrikaans, the production features English surtitles.
Brought to life by a stellar cast, the production features Dean Balie as Koos Heuningbek, Rushney Ferguson as Kittie Jaftha, Jenny Stead as Rosa de Miranda and Andre Terblanche as Josef Marais.
A wonderful live band on stage, featuring musicians Kerryn Torrance (violin), Yvan Potts (keyboard) and Nick Turner (acoustic guitar & cajon) sets the venue alight.
