FAITH MTWANA
What can I say … except congratulations to Sonwa Sakuba and his team on another well- produced stage performance.
The production of Moana Jnr at the Guild Theatre was nothing short of spectacular.
Sakuba continues to prove that he is a force to be reckoned with.
The well-loved movie is brought to life by a cast of talented young local actors.
It was awe-inspiring to watch little children, some of whom couldn’t be older than 10, sing and dance on stage in perfect unison.
One could clearly see the hard work and effort that went into the show, not to mention the pure passion on display.
Sakuba, who directed and choreographed the show, continues to raise the bar with each stage performance he creates.
The dances were simple and yet dramatic enough to really bring the story to life. In case you are not familiar with this particular Disney story, Moana JR is a musical adaptation of the 2016 Disney animated film, bringing the adventures of Moana and her village of Motunui to life on stage.
The talented cast performed stellar renditions of the songs, with Shiny, How far I’ll go and You’re welcome standing out as crowd favourites.
This thrilling and heartwarming coming-of-age story follows the strong-willed Moana as she sets sail across the Pacific to save her village and discover the truth about her heritage.
Moana and the legendary demigod Maui embark on an epic journey of self-discovery and camaraderie as they both learn to harness the power that lies within.
The show beautifully portrays the story’s messages of braveness, selflessness and confidence.
It is a wonderful show that is perfect for a family outing.
