Cape Town - We were among the lucky few who got offered the opportunity to attend a dress rehearsal for Show Boat at the Artscape Opera House in Cape Town.
What a mind blowing experience it was.
Show Boat tells the story of 1880s Mississippi, a time when racial and social changes were making history.
The show deals with the haves and have-nots, the arrogance of the advantaged and their ignorance of poverty as well as racial discrimination and the historic fact that while change improves the lives of some, it usually passes by those who need it most.
Here are 6 reasons why you should totally go check out the show:
