Dancing in the show is the esteemed South African dance juggernaut, Craig Arnolds, who recently starred in “Chicago”. 

Capetonian mavens Sikhumbuzo Hlahleni, and Aviwe November further captivate Johannesburg ballet audiences along with the fiery talents of Lize Mentz, Page McElliot, Alison Sichy Smith, Nehanda Pehuillan and Tsebang Sipambo.

World-renowned fashion designer and stylist, David Hutt, is the official costume designer for “The Queen Show”. With over 20 years’ experience in the world of advertising, film, and television, Hutt has worked with an array of iconic brands – from French Vogue to Lachapelle. David Hutt’s brand has always been synonymous with style. 

Fresh from a successful 2019, which saw him taking taking the legacy of South African ballet to all corners of the world, “The Queen Show” director and ballet advocate, Dirk Badenhorst, could not be more elated about his latest production.“We are really looking forward to entertaining South African audiences at the beautiful Pieter Toerien Theatre at Montecasino” says Mr. Badenhorst.
