Fresh from their latest celebrated season at the V&A Waterfront stage, one of Cape Town’s most popular, sophisticated and tongue in cheek entertainment institutions promises to beguile PE audiences with laughter and lipstick, trilogy and tiaras, parody and pantyhose out of the top drawer!
Performing together since 1994, the extravagant drag queens Lilly Slaptsilli and Keiron Legacy, are the longest running drag duo in South Africa. Mince- The Return, sees the lavish ladies offer the funniest piece of drag theatre ever staged as they perform a collection of their finest gems and crowd favourites from the past and present!
Featuring Clive Allerdyce and Martin Van Staden as the vivacious vixens, the show includes a host of duets and solo performances handpicked by the sassy queens, as they revisit 15 years in show business. Their playlist reads like a Hollywood guest list!
Duets performed include kamikaze comedy duo Do’s Fallopia’sThe Camp Song, The Wet Spots’ Do you take it?as well asMozarts renowned Queen of the Night aria from Magic Flute, resulting in a fierce lip sync battle on stage.
ErthaKitt, Whoopi Goldberg and Marlene Dietrichall make an appearance as well as hilarious banter about hits TV shows like Honey Boo Boo Child, The Kardashians, Oprah and Christian Uglyhairy.
Originally masterminded by David Kramer in 1995, The Mince Drag Show quickly became a yearly institution, travelled extensively locally and as far afield as Egypt and Budapest abroad, and even morphed into an Afrikaans version (Fop JouHier, Dos JouDaar) for the Klein Karoo National Arts Festival in 2011.
Mince, a term used to characterize the tight, feminine wiggle when you walk, also describes their iconic shows which have become somewhat of an institution in the mother city’s Dock Road Theatre and On Broadway cabaret venue over the years.
Mince – The Return is produced with dollops of precise cosmetics, tricks with props, audience interactions, hilarious spoofs on popular culture and the singers they parody…and plenty of subtexts to exploit any innuendo in the songs they send up.
So expect to see sharp stilettos, spot on celebrity impersonations as a host of sassy ladies are brought seductively back to life, the great divashonoured, and over 24 frock, wig and shoe changes, all done in remarkable style with slick performances in cleverly conceived routines.
With reviews such as “Their sense of style can make Madonna look like Mother Teresa – Tonight” be warned this show is not for the faint hearted – bring your blood pressure meds as the legends of laughter, lip-synch and lycratackle online dating, lesbian relationships and so much more.
So don’t miss out! DRAG yourself to Radisson Blu Hotel on the 28th of February and 1st of March, for a wild night of entertainment! As before, Razzlin’ at the Radisson offers a chairs around tables cabaret environment – with a special menu offered and a bar available.
