TROIKA To Present ‘Sarafina’ Musical

TROIKA Bermuda will present the South African Broadway musical “Sarafina!” next month, featuring an “all-star Bermudian cast of over 40 young performers who can sing, dance and act.”

A spokesperson said, “Next month, TROIKA Bermuda [TROIKA] is delighted to present our Work In Progress #8 [WIP8] production of the Broadway hit musical, ‘Sarafina!’. The production will be staged 7pm nightly at the Ruth Seaton James Centre of the Performing Arts from Wednesday, 1st November 2023 through Saturday, 4th November 2023.

“Sarafina! is a South African musical created by Mbongeni Ngema and Hugh Masakela. Through story, song, and dance, the musical portrays students’ involvement in the Soweto Riots against apartheid. The story revolves around Sarafina, a radical young schoolgirl, who inspires her classmates with her commitment to the struggle against apartheid. Sarafina! originally premiered on Broadway in 1988 and was later adapted into a hit film in 1992.

“The multitalented creative team for our production includes direction by Nhlanhla Ngema, a native South African who appeared in the original film and Broadway cast; vocal direction and dialect coaching by Tiisetso Ngema; and choreography by Bermuda’s own, Carling Ray. The production features an all-star Bermudian cast of over 40 young performers who can sing, dance and act.
