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.

Awê Ma Se Kinnes!
This is the week when people are starting to give other people presents. I panic when someone hands me a gift, and then asks me to open it while they are looking on. It’s stressful because there can only be one reaction. You are meant to go O WOW MAN THANK YOU! So moments before you rip the wrapping apart, you reach deep down to go and fetch that necessary reaction.
DON’T ENGAGE!!!
Awê Ma Se Kinnes!
It’s quite terrible to live in a world where you desperately want to tell someone YOUR MOER but you can’t. And you can’t for various reasons. Maybe because it’s your boss. Maybe because it’s your teenage child. Maybe because it’s your neighbour. Or, as is the case with me, maybe because you know you will regret it when the sun comes up because you are actually just a nice person who does not want drama in his day, who does not want drama on any day, who does not want drama for the rest of his life.
HIP HIP!!!
By the time you’re done reading this, you’ll be 5 minutes older. Or perhaps even 65 minutes older. Depending on how much you bunked English when you were at school.
JOU TRAVEL BAN SE MA SE PA
Yoh, over the past few days, South Africans were upset hey! Essentially for two reasons. That bladdy new Variant. And then the quick Travel Ban that followed.
OH NO! IT’S A BEACH DAY!
Even as youngster, those popular beach days never held much appeal for me. I must have enjoyed it until I was around 11. But not so much after that. As a kid, it was my job to make sure that the watermelon was kept safe and cold when we got to the beach.
MIND THE GAP!
To this day still there are various riveting reasons as to why the “passion gap” was trending at the time.
