Supported by the extraordinary Coenraad Rall on piano, this theatrical experience is a joint creative effort by Amanda Bothma, Jacques Du Plessis, and Germaine Gamiet, and has already garnered widespread acclaim, earning a coveted nomination for the prestigious Fleur du Cap Theatre Awards, followed by a successful national tour. They were also a special guest act at the recent Naledi Theatre Awards.

Through reimagined renditions of popular musical theatre, pop, rock, and jazz numbers, this unique multimedia musical cabaret offers a fresh perspective on Van Gogh’s unwavering desire for love and acceptance.

WHAT MEDIA HAVE SAID:
Robyn Sassen:
“What holds the moment is Anderson’s ability to contain it all, and allow Van Gogh’s story to have a voice in your heart. One unsoiled by grubby truisms. It’s an extraordinary piece of work. And Anderson’s is a name to follow. Unequivocally.”
Bruce Dennill:
“Anderson weaves a special kind of magic, ably assisted by a sensitive, responsive accompanist. Vincent is a show that hits all its marks, and while a standing ovation is no longer necessarily a clear indicator of excellence in contemporary theatre, the sustained applause – a good few minutes without pause – that accompanied it was the minimum reward deserved by Anderson’s accomplishment.”
Janice Leibowitz:
“An unique theatre experience! Vincent, currently onstage at Theatre on the Square, Sandton is not only a fascinating journey into the soul of the artist, Van Gogh, and his life, but also an incredible observation of a performer who is so well-versed in his material, that he fluidly, almost invisibly, transforms himself again and again throughout the show.”
Denise Bjorkman:
“Vincent at the Theatre on the Square was a starry, starry night. I hope they make a recording of every magnificent song which exemplified Van Gogh’s lesser-known life history.”
