Synopsis
Not your average cabaret duo, Just a Song and a Dance looks at the women of PlumSong: a mother–daughter duo with a killer repertoire, kickass voices and a less-than-classic style of mother–daughter banter. PlumSong are at yet another gig, where they need to be (much to their dismay) background music and not a cabaret.
​
Just A Song And A Dance is not so much a story as a moment in the tale of this mother and daughter who are better friends than they should be. Join Sharyn and Dara as they sing, dance, and complain their way through another gig and you’ll understand just how this friendship blossomed.
​
Written by Sharyn Seidel and Dara Beth, this production is part-cabaret, part-comedy, and all honesty as audiences see the inner workings (and shenanigans) of this mother–daughter cabaret duo.
Media & Reviews
"Beth and Seidel-Kometz deliver an amazing jazzy yet modern set-list with attitude and astonishing vocal gymnastics... it truly is a charming and delightful theatre experience."
Theatre Scene Cape Town
"Enjoy a light-hearted, feel-good performance by two hugely talented artists. They complement each other beautifully, and not just with their singing. They interact with the audience, leading to lots of chuckles. A special mention must be made for their expressive soundcheck person."
