Beatlemania Fever Set To Take Cape Town By Storm Later This Year With Renowned International Tribute Show  Image

Are you ready to be entertained with some of the biggest and most nostalgic rock 'n roll memories of the modern era? Bringing to life on stage the major musical hits that made The Beatles one of the most successful and influential rock groups of all time, international hit tribute and stage show Beatlemania On Tour is set to take over The Mother City later this year for a stint at the Artscape Theatre.

Starting on Wednesday 31 October for a two-week run, Beatlemania On Tour brings a full cast of three Australian singers and one Scottish vocalist for the shows' first performing run in Cape Town. The successful international stage show runs at the Artscape Opera House at the Artscape Theatre until Sunday 11 November 2018.

Beatlemania On Tour, which made its South African début in 2010, enjoyed a successful run at Emperors Palace Casino in Johannesburg at the start of 2018, as well as a recent stint at Sibaya Casino and Entertainment World in Durban - in April this year.

Cape Town audiences too can expect a fresh musical experience with state-of-the-art updates to the show's production and lighting. Revamps to the show's huge repertoire of replica Beatles costuming have also been made.


If it's pure nostalgia you're looking for, then you won't be disappointed. All of the Beatles' biggest and most treasured hits from the 1960's rock era will be performed live on stage - in their original key and on replica Beatles instruments - with unseen attention to detail creating the sincerest Beatles sound around.

The cast includes the talented singers Joe Kane (as Paul McCartney), Zac Coombs (as John Lennon), Brent McMullen (as George Harrison) and Ben Harper (as Ringo).

Audiences can expect to see classic Beatles hits such as Can't Buy Me Love, All My Loving, Please Please Me, I Wanna Hold Your Hand, She Loves You, Day Tripper, Nowhere Man, Help, Yellow Submarine, Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and Hey Judeperformed throughout the two-hour spectacular.

The handsome foursome have gone the extra mile to make the show true to life and The Mother City fans of The Beatles are in for a treat, says lead singer, Joe Kane.

"We have never been to Cape Town with the show before so we are all looking forward to experiencing Cape Town and its audiences. Fans can expect to see ten years of musical history from the finest pop band of all time condensed into two hours of high-octane, rock & roll fun."

With previous sold-out shows across the US, Canada, Dubai, Hong Kong, Australia and New Zealand under its belt, the production is looking to uphold its reputation as one of the world's best Beatles tributes, and the show's producers are confident it will do just that.

Tickets for the Cape Town leg of the SA tour can be purchased via Computicket at either www.computicket.com or via Checkers and Shoprite retail stores, countrywide, and are priced at R190 - R390 each.
