African Footprint, a delightful musical promoting African unity, is playing at the Gold Reef, an entertainment/casino/shopping/hotel complex. The musical is simply fantastic, especially the dancing, which begins with old-style African traditional movements intertwined with ballet and modern moves and concludes with present day tap dancing and hip-swaying.

This production, with three remarkable stars, could make it on Broadway or London’s West End. Some of the notes are missed in the singing, and too many transitions do not flow from one scene to the next, but the overall African tale – with 80 percent of the cast black South Africans and the remaining white South Africans – is engaging, exciting and extremely entertaining.
