This February there are some amazing things to see that will make you fall in love with the stage on Valentine's Day. Take your significant other, go with a group of friends or round up the family, and get whisked away by some of South Africa's finest talent.

Mel Brooks' classic, THE PRODUCERS, is a must-see at Theatre on the Bay. This musical has been making people laugh since the 1968 film first came out. It's the second time this show has come to Cape Town and houses will probably sell out, just like they did a couple of years ago.
