Hot on the heels of a successful run at the Kalk Bay Theatre and KKNK , Cape Town ‘s favourite rude, raunchy and rocking Country Cabaret returns to Alexander Theatre FOR A PRE- Grahamstown canter!

Cape Town ‘s favourite rude, raunchy and rocking Country Cabaret is ReBorn….. Angels On Horseback has been ReLoaded by the outrageously talented Genna Galloway and the sexy and sassy Queen of Dirty Words, Alicia McCormick. In the saddle, directing, is original Horseback rider Fiona du Plooy. Country takes on a whole new meaning in this daring , dirty and delicious Live musical. Hilarious original songs give Country a makeover, a slap down, and an asskick. They are guaranteed to get your house back, your heart unbroke and quite possibly your tongue in his…er your cheek.

"...Raunchy, riotous, reeling, rocking and ridiculous...The music is magic, the singing sublime, and it is as hilarious as hell..."
Megan Furniss, Weekend Special

“Whether you see yourself more as a demure feminist or as a proudly ‘shout it from the rooftops’ gal power revolutionary, Genna and Alicia bring you country songs of sisterhood …in a racy, lacy and liberating way”.
Barbara Loots, Theatre Scene

Was excellent entertainment that came across as great fun and a feeling of genuine spontaneity. It needs to be marketed more as I think a full audience would enhance the experience even more!

Angels On Horse Back was great but I can't say the same for Alexander Bar. We arrived at 7.15, having booked a table which nobody knew about anyway, we were seated at a table, nobody asked for our drinks order. We were there 10 minutes before my husband went to ask if we could order a drink and still nobody came so we left, went to Villa 47 and had dinner.

Fantastic show. High energy, gripping, funny and also on point when sharing some of the social issues we face today. The 4 worked well as a team and were well rehearsed.

Didn't go.....................my wife was very sick, so gave the 2 tickets to Jono Tait (personal friend) for his friends...........................

ALAN • Attended June 20, 2017, 9 p.m.

Loved it! This show never disappoints, and the addition of Genna Galloway has brought a plucky new dimension to the on-stage dynamic. (Those women make a great team, and the musicians are, of course, fantastic. More cello!) Brilliant original music, stupendous covers ... It's all very happy-making with a wonderfully feminist twist. Oh, and the performers were incredibly professional last night when a very drunk member of the audience threatened to derail the show.

It was absolutely heart warming on a bitterly cold Cape Town night !! Truly quirky, well paced, full of surprising twists and much joy.. And great talent all around - musicians and singers . All performers seemingly having a lot of fun on stage - and managed to sweep the audience up to the same. Musicians could have had some special short focus - they're quite in the background, but doing an excellent job. Maybe they could have just been featured alone for a 2 min interlude ? Direction tight and creative. Perfect venue for the show - stay there !
