Roxmouth returns in style with My Favourite Broadway at Montecasino
From July 25- 27, crowds poured into Montecasino's Teatro as celebrated stage performer Jonathan Roxmouth opened his new show, My Favourite Broadway, to thunderous applause.
The production, presented by Howard Events, marks Roxmouth's triumphant return to Johannesburg and unites some of Broadway's greatest hits with the powerful presence of the newly formed Egoli Symphonic Orchestra.
Backed by 32 exceptional musicians under the baton of maestro Adam Howard, Roxmouth took audiences on an emotional journey through Broadway's most iconic musicals, from The Phantom of the Opera and Les Misérables to Evita, My Fair Lady, Funny Girl, and more. The show also showcases L-Acoustics' immersive L-ISA audio technology, offering every guest a fully enveloping, multidimensional sound experience unlike anything previously heard at the Teatro.

Howard of the Egoli Symphonic Orchestra said, 'Collaboration with heart can transcend expectation. This show is a perfect example of what's possible when you combine passion, talent, and world-class technology.'

I deeply regret the pain I've caused you. 'As the head of the family, I let everyone down. Annie from the bottom of my heart, I wish you true love, healing and peace. Farewell, pretty wings.' The Luma Hospitality Group founder's comment has netizens weighing in on wether he is being sarcastic or sincere and 'pretty wings'. Annie in her new interview addresses the cheating around her relationship and her decission to protect her marriage it in the public eye, which is something she did. 'No one likes to be cheated on, it makes you question yourself a lot are you enough, is there something wrong with me, why can I not be enough for you. 'In admitting that I was being cheated on I felt like I was saying 'I was not good enough'. I was highly embarrassed. I was not in a good place. I just wanted to protect all of us from this, even though I was not being protected.' The businesswoman revealed that in December it will be three years of her marriage being over. In her previous interview on the same podcast, Annie spoke about the character assassination that she suffered at the hands of 'The Real Housewives of Durban' cast member, which went to the extent of lies being created about her marriage, finances and livelihood.

In light of Women's month, Nespresso has partnered with artist Pam Friedman, to honour women through her pieces. Read more: David Krut Projects showcases artist's latest exhibition Friedman's solo exhibition: Matriarchs, opened in Rosebank on July 31, and celebrates eight women whose courage, compassion, and conviction shaped the course of history across continents and centuries. Nespresso brand team member Keabetswe Legodi explained that the coffee brand believes in the upliftment of women and communities. 'We are about sustainability, regenerative thinking, and upscaling things without them losing their purpose or value, all while preserving the world. Pam's art stood out because it was made from used capsules, upcycled to art that represents powerful women in our society. ' Friedman explained that the creative hub that housed her art was filled with almost 30 000 capsules, each filled with stories, survival, beauty, and strength. 'I also honour our African heroines, including Queen Nandi, whose protection birthed legacy, and Queen Lozikeyi. Coffee isn't only a drink; it's a ritual of rising, which awakens us and reminds us that transformation is rich, slow-brewed, and bold, like the heroines I have paid tribute to through my pieces.' The artist added that she took what the world threw away, reimagining the waste into portraits of power.
