Currently running in the Royal Hotel’s Backstage until April 28 is Offbeat Broadway, a production featuring Suanne Braun, Anton Luitingh and Paul du Toit. The polished production comes straight from a sell-out season in Cape Town and pays tribute to musicals which have made the top grade on New York’s Broadway and London’s West End.

The programme includes at least 30 well-known songs – and a few that are not – that have made their mark in musical theatre.

The trio is based in Cape-Town based, although former M-Net presenter Suanne Braun has been living in Los Angeles for a time. Paul du Toit is currently appearing in e.tv’s Madam and Eve.

Tickets include a three-course meal in splendid Royal style. Book through Royal Reservations on (031) 304-0331.
