Get Your Groove On! Disco City Brings 70s & 80s Magic to Jozi

Ready to boogie this festive season? Disco City is set to light up Johannesburg’s Lyric Theatre at Gold Reef City from 27 December 2024 to 12 January 2025, promising a non-stop dance party bursting with the best hits of the 70s and 80s.

Whether you’re a disco diva or just love a good groove, this high-energy extravaganza is sure to get you moving.

A Disco Wonderland Where the Only Rule is to Dance

Forget about being a wallflower, Disco City is all about letting loose! From groovy classics to dazzling dance moves, this is your ticket to a time-traveling dance party where the vibe is electric and the beats are unstoppable.

The show’s motto? “The only crime is not dancing!” So, dust off those platforms, fluff up your afro, and get ready to party like it’s 1979!

Meet the Stars of Disco City

Leading the charge are powerhouse vocalists Tracey-Lee Oliver and Oscar T, guaranteed to bring down the house.

Tracey-Lee Oliver: The Grabouw-born star is a familiar face on South African screens, currently lighting up the soapie Diepe Waters. With a career spanning corporate gigs, The Voice, and a standout role in Dreamgirls, Tracey-Lee’s voice is pure disco gold.

Oscar T: After dazzling audiences on luxury cruise liners and in Macau, Oscar is back home, and ready to wow with his smooth, soulful vocals.

And let’s not forget the Mayor of Disco City, Disco Dave! By day, he’s Joubert Jonker, but by night, he’s a dancefloor king with platform shoes and an afro that defies gravity.

Dance Like Nobody’s Watching

Choreographed by the talented Charlie Van Rooyen, this show features 10 incredible dancers ready to take you on a wild ride through disco’s greatest hits. Expect spins, splits, and a whole lot of funky moves that’ll have you grooving in your seat.

The Dream Behind the Disco

Disco City is the brainchild of visionary director and producer Phillida Le Roux-Liebenberg. A former Sun City showgirl, Phillida has poured her heart into this passion project, turning her dream into a dazzling reality alongside her husband, Vernon.

“This is a celebration of dance, music, and joy for all ages,” Phillida says. “We can’t wait to bring the magic of disco to life on the Lyric stage.”
