The days of high-kicking dancing girls in glittery outfits may have gone the way of shoulder pads and perms, but the entertainment factor is back at Wild Coast Sun near Port Edward after the renovation of the Resort’s theatre.

“The South Coast’s entertainment hub” is how the Sun International Resort’s General Manager Peter Tshidi, describes the forthcoming line-up at the Tropical Nites theatre, which saw a R1.9 million upgrade during the first half of the year.

Michael Bester, well-known on the South Coast for hosting theatre productions and doing beach activations, has partnered with the resort’s entertainment team to manage theatre shows and resort activations to bring the best entertainment for hotel guests and day visitors.

“Tropical Nites’ renovation first entailed emptying the backstage areas of props from shows in a bygone era,” Tshidi said. The 670-seat theatre has been repainted and refurbished in both front and back of house. State-of-the-art lighting and sound will ensure the spotlight remains on the artists as the brand-new curtains raise and fall.

Tropical Nites can handle any kind of show and set, and we expect to see a full line-up of comedy, musicals, dance shows, beauty and talent pageants. These will be family-friendly shows as well as the glitzy spectacular shows.

A popular local Durban comedian is looking forward to a run at the theatre after seeing the renovations, and Wild Coast Sun is in talks with various other show organisers about hosting their talent.
