District Six The Musical

This ground-breaking Cape Town musical first opened at the Baxter Theatre in 1986 and was originally seen by over 350000 people. As 12 year old’s, Jody Abrahams and Loukmaan Adams shared the role of Broertjie the newspaper vendor. Fifteen years later in 2003, they were cast as leads in a reworked production of Cape Town’s favourite musical. In the intervening years David Kramer and Taliep Petersen wrote other musicals, including Kat and the Kings, which won the Olivier Award for Best New Musical in London. In 2002 they turned their attention to a working of their first musical and it is production, filmed after a record-breaking 7 month run at the Baxter Theatre in Cape Town, that is now available for the first time on DVD. The authors came to regard this as the definitive version of their first work together.
