It's time to Face The Music

Each member of the audience is given a scorecard and tasked with correctly identifying things like the song the ladies are singing, the movie that made a song famous, the era a song comes from, etc. It's quite a lot to cover what I'm sure amounts to more than 40 songs from 50 years in just 60 minutes (hence the Glee-esque mash-ups), but there are some interludes, like the charming ode to a latte boy, so you can catch your breath before carrying on.

Win a bottle of premium brandy

But wait, there's more! At the end of the performance, the audience member who gets the most correct answers wins a bottle of premium brandy from Distell. (Four women tied on the opening night, possibly because one drunken audience member inadvertently blurted out answers throughout the show, which led to a "sudden death" to determine the winner.)

"Play the game or be a spectator," Kalk Bay Theatre owner Simon Cooper said, "but either way you'll be entertained." And he's right. Face the Music 2 is highly energetic, highly interactive, and a fun way to end off another great year.

Face the Music 2 is on at Cape Town's Kalk Bay Theatre until 6 January, 2013, (with a special countdown on New Year's Eve) before it tours Australia, mainland Europe, and the UK. For details and bookings, go to www.kbt.co.za.
