#TheABBAshow ballet stars chat to the Drive team!
Now this is some South African ballet you simply have to see for yourself!
'The ABBA Show' includes the group's earliest and latest hits and are cleverly chosen to fit the 'Cinderella' storyline, instead of forcing the ballet against an 'ABBA' soundtrack. Expect an upbeat mix of pop, rock, disco, orchestral, original material, and live renditions.

Angela Revie is sublime as Cinderella, while Michael Revie is tangible as her wicked stepfather. 'Prince Charming' literally defies gravity, while the ugly stepsisters strike a tantalising balance between their comedic villainy and their artful dance. There is a lot to appreciate when all the dancers are on stage - pay attention to all the dancers, especially when they are performing in the background.

The fabulous 'Cathy Specific' threatens to out-stage everyone whenever she is on stage. Her larger-than-life presence is a commanding one that forces the dancers to raise their game - unless they want to dance in Cathy's shadow. She is obviously a star in her own right, but she's not an intentional scene-stealer because ballet is about the company and not the diva.
Angela Revie and Michael Revie popped in for a chat with Rian van Heerden about the ballet.
