007: A Tribute to James Bond on Broadway in Cape Town

A Tribute to James Bond & Other Spies Who Nearly Shagged Me, through a musical journey of Bond songs at On Broadway

The team that brought you the acclaimed ‘Footsteps’ in December 2008 is back with an unforgettable party from Tuesday 14 April – 2 May 2009, promising more laughs and more music.

Rafiek Mammon and Gary Naidoo have proven themselves as a duo who take the tribute show and musical revue genre to new heights with a thematic, comedic and always very tight musical approach that has audiences partying to the popular song lists their shows usually boast, while laughing at their unique brand of humour.

This time, with big-voiced and well loved Ilse Klink (‘Chicago’, ‘The Full Monty’, ‘Isidingo’) on the team as the leading Bond girl they will be paying tribute to 007 and other spies in film – from the Pink Panther to Mission Impossible.

Shirley Bassey or Sheryl Crow? A-ha or Duran Duran? Tina Turner or Tom Jones? And what about John Barry's fabulously swinging theme tune?

From swinging cool jazz fanfares and epic orchestral affairs to new wave nuggets, power ballads and back – James Bond tunes have ‘em all. They select the best James Bond theme tunes (and more) and turn them into a hit musical revue!

Some are shaken, but not quite stirred…‘For Your Eyes Only’ by Sheena Easton, ‘Moonraker’ by Shirley Bassey, ‘All Time High’ by Rita Coolidge, ‘License to Kill’ by Gladys Knight, ‘You Know My Name’ by Chris Cornell & ‘The World Is Not Enough’ by Garbage.

Then there are the one-liners…funny and sexy, and of course the Bond girls…the technology, the cars, the fire, the action …
