Time Out says

When it comes to artistic excellence in Cape Town, the Artscape Theatre Centre is the place to visit.

Located in central Cape Town, the Artscape was opened on 19 May 1971 as the Nico Malan Theatre Centre. Ever since, it has been the home to world class productions and has become the venue of choice for all genres of performing arts. Described as an "iconic cultural beacon in the Western Cape", the theatre provides theatre-goers with an experience to remember.

What to expect during your visit:

The Artscape complex offers a dynamic and engaging environment, featuring:

  • A fully equipped auditorium seating 1,487 guests, ideal for large-scale performances
  • A mid-sized theatre with 540 seats
  • A more intimate theatre accommodating 140 guests, suited for smaller productions
  • Rehearsal rooms

What’s on

Mamma Mia! The Musical

Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again is bringing Greece to the Artscape from 3 September to 11 October. The production features a star-studded cast, including Amra-Faye Wright as Donna Sheridan and Leah Mari as Sophie Sheridan. Audiences can look forward to some of ABBA’s greatest hits – from Dancing Queen and Mamma Mia to Super Trouper and Take a Chance on Me. At its heart, the musical is a joyful celebration of young love, sisterhood, motherhood… and dot, dot, dot (see what we did there).
