Bojangles Entertainment, in association with the BAT Centre Trust and the Independent on Saturday presents The Candyman, a new musical filled with comedy and energetic dancing to original music composed by Hamish Kyd and Chris Ruiters. Direction is by Dawn Gaillard, choreography by Janine van Wyk and vocal arrangements by Bronwyn Forbay.

Bojangles also produced the highly successful show The MJ Experience and The Candyman is set to be just as popular. Set in Durban, it traces the antics of a group of street children raised in a secret hideaway by four hobo's: Prof, Rotti, Maria and Benny. They soon come into conflict with the Candyman and his gang.

The production opens at the BAT Centre on December 10 and runs until December 23, with a possible extension from January 2 to 16. Book through Ticket Web (http://www.ticketweb.co.za), the BAT Centre or Bojangles on (031) 468-8609 or 208-0610.
