Dolphins by Starlight: Featuring Gambit
Dolphins By Starlight is a show not only for the kids but also the BIG kids (i.e. Mom and Dad).
It doesn’t just feature the majestic Dolphins, but it is a complete musical production set on the poolside with a variety of fun likable characters and a strong message about conservation.
This year’s show runs until the 13th December and features two of Santa’s elves, Andy Alibastar and Polly Peppermint. The Durban Gospel Choir WOW the crowd with their powerful voices (leaving you with goosebumps) as well as incredible solo performances by the talented “Divo” Clive Gumede, Samanther Landers and Slindo Zondo – all accompanied by a live band.
Dolphins by Starlight is family entertainment at its very best and this year favourite, Gambit makes a spectacular appearance! There is plenty of dancing and singing, one to mention is the Hip Hop Nutcracker – where traditional meets modern dance.
