On their own website zambeziexpress.com, they have describe it as “A Sizzling Hot, Non-Stop, All-Action, feel-good Dance Musical.”
Zambezi Express has been billed as the “happiest show on earth”. Emma Rowley of the Evening Standard reports that the Musical is set to become London’s next feel-good hit after opening to packed audiences at the Riverside Studios in Hammersmith. We don’t get much of Zimbabwean entertainment in London, Zambezi Express is something to go and enjoy!
It’s a tense, taught story, fraught with danger, drama and adventure.
Zambezi Express is the story of “a boy named Zilli, born in the slums of a mining township in Bulawayo,
Zimbabwe, it offers hope, escape, and a journey to fulfil a footballing dream in
the big city.”
The musical was created by British Circus entrepreneur Gerry Cottle, and the group trained at Mr Cottle’s circus school at Wookey Hole in Somerset.
“It’s the first time Zimbabwe has ever had a musical outside the country,” Mr
Cottle said to the Evening Standard. “It’s been years in the making.“It’s a cross between Billy Elliot and Slumdog Millionaire. People come
out with smiles all over their faces.”
