The holiday season shines brighter in 2024 with the much-anticipated return of A Christmas Carol. This beloved classic, which has delighted audiences for seven consecutive years, is back to enchant both Cape Town and Johannesburg from November 27th to December 14th, 2024 in both cities. With a limited run, this year’s engagement promises to be more magical than ever before.
This heartwarming adaptation of Charles Dickens’ timeless story is a celebration of humanity, family, and the spirit of generosity. Audiences can expect a sensory delight for any tired soul, with innovative storytelling, vivid animation and spectacular performances from the dedicated cast.
Afrikaans star Zak Hendrikz, currently starring as Du Toit Fourie in Kelders Van Geheime (2024) and known for his roles as Riaan in Die fantastiese verdwyning van Charlie Prins (2023) and Werner Visagie in 7de Laan, will take on the iconic role of Ebenezer Scrooge. With a career spanning musical theatre, film, and television, Hendrikz brings a wealth of experience to this role, making him the definitive Scrooge for 2024. His impressive résumé includes productions like Little Shop of Horrors (Fleur de Cap and Naledi Award Nominee), Grease (International Tour), Into the Woods (Naledi Nominee), and The Rocky Horror Show. Hendrikz has also starred in the Netflix original series Shadow and the film adaptation of Ballade vir ‘n Enkeling.
Joining him is the talented Angela Sparks, who masterfully plays all the other beloved characters, bringing Dickens’ Victorian London to life with her remarkable versatility.

In Comedy Gold, Committie will once again award comedy medals to all the quibbles, foibles, outrageous inconsistencies and multiple inefficiencies that make up modern living in 2024.
From elections and appalling selections, though Airbnbs and neighbourhood Whatsapp groups but never ignoring Olympic shenanigans and dieticians, this show will be filled with all the customary wordplay, physical hi-jinx and surreal detours into fresh perspectives that you associate with this jester.
Also: a flipchart. Always.
Although not a trained athlete in the traditional sense, Committie is a highly respected and well regarded member of the Lower Bergvliet Amateur Association 7th team badminton squad (reserves).
And doesn’t eat carbs on a Tuesday.
Did I mention there will be flipchart?
The show is coached by Chris Weare who may or may not be on a course of steroids but never for the reason you guessed.
Bookings at Webtickets or the Theatre On The Bay box-office (021) 438-3301.
