Vincent

Vincent – His Quest To Love And Be Loved, a three-time Naledi Award-winning musical theatre production, returns to play in front of many Western Cape communities this July, following its sold-out 2025 debut in London’s West End. Produced by the national touring company Wela Kapela, the show features acclaimed young actor Daniel Anderson as Van Gogh, with music by Cape Town Opera’s rehearsal pianist, Paul Ferreira.

Through reimagined renditions of classic pop, rock, jazz, and musical theatre hits, the production follows Van Gogh’s turbulent story, with Anderson bringing the iconic artist’s ever-relatable struggles, successes, and unending passion to life. Styled as a “multimedia musical cabaret”, the performance delves into Van Gogh’s lifelong need to create, love, and be loved on an emotional journey that connects modern audiences with the complex man.

This Petit-Cape Tour sees the production come to the Mother City’s outer communities, rather than expecting audiences to travel far from home to see it. Vincent is showing at select theatres in Durbanville, Stellenbosch, and Paternoster, ensuring theatre lovers from across the province can witness the timeless story.
