Cape Town Opera, in collaboration with Artscape, present Tsotsi, The Musical.
Based on the novel by Athol Fugard, Tsotsi, the Musical tells the powerful story of a hardened township criminal whose life changes forever after a bungled mugging leaves him caring for a stranger’s baby.

Hip-hop artist Mxolisi “Zuluboy” Majozi stars as Tsotsi, with an outstanding supporting cast including Msizi Njapha, Busisiwe Ngejane, Bianca Le Grange, Kgomotso Matsunyane, Lindani Nkosi, Katlego Letsholonyana, Thembisile Ntaka, Thembalethu Zwele, Royston Stoffels, Ayanda Nhlangothi and Nhlanhla Mahlangu.
