Well-known choreographer Denise Britz has taken some of the hottest talent in town to create the Rothman’s July Designer Showcase to be held at Greyville Racecourse on June 26 from 17h00. Tickets at R90 pp include a three-course dinner served during the night racing.

The theme is West End Musicals and this year’s event will feature 11 top local designers who have created outfits inspired by a specific hit West End Show. While Colleen Eitzen has chosen drama and spectacle Les Miserables, Terrence Bray has opted for the more visual and racy Starlight Express. Vicky Leach may present audiences with `Some Enchanted Evening’ (South Pacific), Jodi Kraus has chosen Oklahoma where the `wavin’ wheat can sure smell sweet’, Greg Mills may prove that everyone’s `lookin’ swell’ with (Hello Dolly!) and perhaps Vee Gargiulio and Collin Hanslo will pose the question “Shall We Dance?” (The King and I)!

“What do the simple folk do” could be the inspiration for Tarryn Slavin (Camelot), while Karen Monk-Klijnstra (My Fair Lady) may well decide to dance `all night’!
