Brace yourselves Cape Town for you are about to be the hosts of the most unconventional `Mile High` trolley dolly to hit our shores, as she kicks off her nationwide tour!
This sassy lady picks up her stories as she goes from airport to airport and tells them as uncensored as they come here at the New Space Theatre, so if you just came in on a flight, be careful… your story might be one she tells…
This is stand- up comedy meets musical and is a must for the holiday season.
Audiences will recognize many classic songs tailored to suit Mile High, such as Come Fly With Me, Singing In The Rain (turned into Singing On A Plane) and Strangers In The Night (turned into Strangers On A Flight.)
Cathy, in six inch heels, dominates with her powerful stage presence, but her alter ego, Brendan van Rhyn is magnetic and charismatic in his own way.
A lead role in The Judas Kiss, under the direction of Maralin Vanrenen, marked the beginning of his professional career and his most recent success has been in the starring role of The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Cathy is joined by her hugely talented supporting team which includes Phumi Mncayi, a versatile professional performer with vast stage, industrial theatre, voice over and television experience and now the new face and presenter of Wina Manje And Ryan Flynn who was born into the industry, touring with his parents Bill Flynn and Anne Power in various shows from a young age. Recently he played Brad Majors in ‘The Rocky Horror Show’ and was recently nominated for a Naledi Award that performance as Best New-Comer.
The show is written by Brendan Van Rhyn and award winning director, Maralin Vanrenen, who also directs this production. Produced by Warren Batchelor of InThaZone Entertainment, who amongst others is currently producing the live broadcast of the prestigious Miss World Final to be televised right here in S.A. The set and lighting design is by Kosie House of Theatre.
