Music of the Night will be a unique take on the musical numbers instantly recognisable from the lyricists audiences know and love, including Sir Tim Rice, Don Black, Sir Richard Stilgoe, Charles Hart, Glenn Slater and others with fresh new arrangements ideally suited for the talented cast.
Five premier musical theatre performers - Craig Urbani, Carly Graeme, Adrian Galliard, Stephanie Baartman and Emma-Jean Galliard, are gathered to take audiences out on the musical theatre highway.
Music of the Night – one composer, many lyricists, will kick off the 2022 season of the enchanting and popular pocket sized venue, Centurion Theatre, running for a limited season from February 24th – March 5th.

Audiences will delight as Urbani turns on the charm with his rendition of Sunset Boulevard, then next giving us an amusing tongue-in-cheek rendition of King Herod’s song from Jesus Christ Superstar.
Tickets range from R190 to R275 and bookings are online at Quicket.
I spoke to Urbani last week ahead of these series of shows:
Dress up in other peoples’ clothes and speak very loudly whilst trying not to bump into the furniture. Oh, and sometimes I may be required to sing.
Music is everything. It’s how I remember, experience and define all the important moments in my life. They all have a soundtrack.
Feelings. Unless I’m performing, then it’s about hitting the right notes in their right order.
Just for today.
Keeping in perspective all the nonsense they say about you whilst trying to remember who and what is really important.
I can no longer be bothered.
Nasty and divisive people. Oh, and Crocs.
Robbie Williams.
I can be anywhere after spending time with my daughter. After time spent with her I am most alive and able to create.
The live performance. It is me doing what I was born to do in its purest form.
The Show Must Go On.
If you can think of it, it has happened. Sets falling down, black outs, forgetting my lines, people forgetting their lines, actors not arriving for a cue, sound disasters… You name it.
Anyone that manages to get up and do it everyday with a degree of positivity, humanity and kindness.

Mr Price.
My Mother. Maybe it’s just because I know her story. To endure what she has and to do it with this quiet strength, gentle nature and immense grace is extremely admirable.
My guitar. As long as I have that I can create, feel, perform and make a buck.
Coke Zero.
Stadium version of The Rocky Horror Show.
I’m pretty tall. That helps.
None that I know of.
Act.
Clumsy, silly, blessed, funny and clown.
Modern Love and Brooklyn Nine Nine.
No idea.
I love biographies. I am currently reading Siya Kolisi and Johnny Clegg’s biographies.
Oh Boy by Buddy Holly.
My family and friends.
Tonsil.
Take my daughter to Japan.
My child.

Eskom.
Failure.
Living each moment to its fullest.
Act.
Not to sweat the small stuff.
The one I’m currently on - life.
I have been involved in a few charities. I love singing for retired folk and I have also done a lot with 67 blankets.
To be a good dad, and to be happy and make others happy. Oh, and money, more money please.
