In One of the great South African urban traditions is a visit to a drive-in theatre. Only five remain in Johannesburg and the most famous is Top Star, perched atop a mine dump in central Johannesburg. The giant outdoor screen is ten storeys high. Arrive early and watch the sun go down over sundowners followed either by a picnic supper or a greasy burger from the take-away shop. Most nights there are two shows and you can stay for both.
Charge is per car rather that per person.
The dramatic tale of a climb to the peak of Mount Everest, shown on a screen three storeys high, details the thrills and dangers that face climbers tackling the world's highest peak. Everest', filmed at the same time as the disastrous South African expedition, is spectacular if a little plodding. The Off-Broadway supper theatre in Norwood's winning formula continues to pull in crowds of all ages. Its latest offering, 'Absolutely Fabulously Broadway', follows on from 'Rouge Pulp', which played to sell-out houses. The new show features songs from 'Oklahoma', 'West Side Story', 'Hello Dolly', 'My Fair Lady' and 'Chess', staged and choreographed in new and original ways.
