Tap Dogs is coming to SA

Australia’s most successful theatrical export, Dein Perry’s Tap Dogs, is coming to South Africa for a strictly limited season starting in Cape Town and ending in Johannesburg.

The global dance sensation has appeared in over 330 cities and 37 countries and 12 million people have been dazzled by the energy of these unique performers. Tap Dogs continues to take the world by storm and now it’s South Africa’s turn to experience the award-winning show described as “part theatre, part dance, part rock concert and part construction site”.

The show features high-energy dance and live music performed by six dancers and two musicians who bring the steel works to life in a fast paced spectacular. It has won over 15 international awards including an Olivier Award (UK), an Obie Award (New York) and a Pegasus Award (Spoleto Festival in Italy).

The show combines the strength of workmen with the precision of tap dancing. Whether they are in water, upside-down or jumping through scaffolding, the Tap Dogs have been performing to the beat of their own drum since their world premiere at the Sydney Theatre Festival in 1995.

Success quickly followed with seasons in London, New York, Tokyo, Paris, Berlin and other cities. A worldwide television audience of over 3.4 billion saw 1 000 Tap Dogs performing in the Opening Ceremony of the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
