Cape Town’s vibrant, new musical theatre company, Mixing Bowl Productions present a three night New Musical Theatre Festival. Three concerts over three nights of brand new, unknown contemporary musical theatre pieces performed by a cast compromising of Cape Town’s top vocalists alongside some brilliant undiscovered talent. From comical to poignant, the pieces explore contemporary experiences of love, loss, sex (GASP) and more. 
Mixing Bowl Productions is a theatre production company focusing on small-scale alternate musical theatre. Mixing Bowl strives to produce musical theatre, which is cutting edge and pushes the boundaries of traditional musical theatre. Mixing Bowl Productions’ recent debut at the National Arts Festival,with their new musical theatre production, In-between, was met with high critical acclaim:

‘The work of the cast is exceptional. This is a layered, lyrical pieces with strong vocalists who take you on a journey of their experiences.’ - CUE 2015

No Jazz Hands Allowed is a festival, which allows not only Cape Town audiences, but also the performers the opportunity to discover and experience these musical theatre gems.

I had been ill for some time so this was a first outing for a while . A good choice: talented, energetic performers with witty and quirky songs. Fresh and delightful. Of course while I was watching events were unfolding in Paris.... :-(

Originally booked for Saturday show only but then my daughter, who is performing in the show, persuaded me to attend Thursday & Friday shows as well. Last night (Friday), I booked for the Sunday show as well! I have enjoyed every minute of these shows so far & can't wait for the next two! The performances were thoroughly professional & the performers exceptionally talented! And I think the rest of the audience agreed with me, judging from their reaction! Would highly recommend these shows to anyone looking for a great evenings entertainment.
