Colleen - The Musical
“If you don’t give your heart away, it will never be broken”. That is the motto of Colleen The Cashier. Until Randall the Shelf-Packer comes along to steal her heart.
But true love does not sail smoothly in the fast-paced world of cashiers, customers, cigarette counters and supervisers. We can only patiently wait in that till queue to find out whether Colleen has any regrets about breaking her own rules.
COLLEEN THE MUSICAL is comedian Marc Lottering’s fourth musical comedy, following hot on the stilettos of the critically acclaimed AUNTY MERLE trilogy.
Produced by Anwar Mc Kay, COLLEEN THE MUSICAL is directed by Lara Foot. Musical Direction is by Charl-Johan Lingenfelder, set design by Patrick Curtis and choreography by Grant Van Ster.
The stellar cast includes David Chevers, Carlo Daniels, Jill Levenberg, Marc Lottering, Sizwesandile Mnisi, Kate Normington, and Anzio September.
COLLEEN THE MUSICAL will be staged at the Pam Golding Theatre at the BAXTER. The show opens on 29 November 2025 and runs until 7 February 2026. Tickets are now selling via Webtickets.
Suitable for 12+ years.

Aweh! Blog
I LOVE YOU, BUT…
Awê Ma Se Kinnes!
Bad breath. Weird toes. Snoring at night. Complete personality change when drunk. Talks unexpectedly loud in a restaurant. Laughs even louder in the same restaurant.
What I’m trying to ask is: what’s a valid reason to break up with someone even though you are dik in love? Some people say that love conquers all. But people who have been in relationships for a little while know that that’s not entirely true. Especially if you’re a little bit fussy.
TELL FAZLIN!
Awê Ma Se Kinnes!
Yesterday, while she was enthusiastically chatting with a group of us, I told my friend Fazlin that she had a bogie in her nose. One of those bogie’s that love styling right on the edge of the cliff. Fazlin was eternally grateful.
WHAT SONG ARE WE PLAYING AT YOUR FUNERAL?
Awê Ma Se Kinnes
Music is everything. Have you already told your family what song you’d like for them to play at your funeral? You mussss. It’s important. That’s of course if you want any music during your funeral service.
PERI-PERI SAUCE AND SLAP CHIPS
Awê Ma Se Kinnes
This week my mother-in-law is coming for dinner, and sleeping over. And I’m looking forward to it. And now my spirit is telling me that many people reading this will never say those words, ever. And I don’t mean that your mom-in-law has passed. No. On the contrary she’s very alive. And definitely kicking.
THE NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION
Awê Ma Se Kinnes
Did you make a New Year’s Resolution the other night? I was asked by a journo to please send them a few sentences as to what my resolutions are. I emailed back: TO STAY ALIVE. They never went to print with that response. They wanted more. I didn’t have anything more. Aiming to stay alive is currently a big enough challenge.
THE TRIBUTE
Awê Ma Se Kinnes
Rest in Peace Our Beloved Arch. What an outpouring yesterday. From across the globe. So much Love, Respect and Adoration. Archbishop Desmond Tutu was a Giant amongst Men. And this sentiment was echoed by so many. It made me think about what people will say about the rest of us when we are no longer here.
