Boys In The Band on MBD
Updated | By Michael Savage

Australia’s hugely successful show BOYS IN THE BAND celebrates the world’s greatest hits from the most iconic Boy Bands of all time. This exclusive season in South Africa will be on the stage of The Mandela at Joburg Theatre for just two weeks from October 1st 2013.
In the past fifty years, there have been very many synchronized, harmonizing boy bands, each of them just a bit different from the last. From Backstreet Boys and 'N Sync to The Bee Gees, The Beach Boys, The Jackson 5, Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons – this show highlights the most popular of all time!
BOYS IN THE BAND also features four of the most talented, versatile, handsome and hip young guys in the entertainment industry. The look and feel of the show is slick and sophisticated, with the boys stylishly dressed by Melbourne based award-winning fashion designer Arthur Galan.
The show features classic songs such as I Want It That Way, I Wish For You, Walk Like a Man, Sherry, Can’t Buy Me Love, Let it Be, Hey Jude, Imagine, Blame it on the Boogie, ABC, Unchained Melody, Bridge Over Troubled Water, Surfin’ USA, Good Vibrations, Night Fever and Staying Alive - as well as medleys of the biggest mega hits the world has known.
Backed by a live on-stage band, the BOYS IN THE BAND are Simon Brook McLachlan, Leigh Sleightholme, Vaingana Matapule and Tom Sharah – all from Sydney, Australia.
Between them, they have starred in major music theatre productions, television and films across the globe. Known in the industry as ‘triple threats’, these boys can sing, dance and act up a storm! And boy, they are sexy too!
Performances for BOYS IN THE BAND begin in The Mandela at Joburg Theatre on Tuesday October 1st and the limited season must close on Sunday October 13th.
