Evita leads the Desperate First LadiesGold Reef City04/19/2010 09:29:13 
Pieter-Dirk Uys and South Africa's most famous white woman, Evita Bezuidenhout, are celebrating Woman's Day at the Lyric. The side-splitting, exclusive new show called Desperate First Ladies will be at Gold Reef City Casino in August for three nights only. The Desperate First Ladies in question aren't just the many wives of South Africa's President, but also a long list of iconic women that ranges from Hillary Clinton and Grace Mugabe to Winnie Madikizela-Mandela. Uys's much-loved alter-ego, Evita Bezuidenhout, will naturally be at the head of the chorus line. The selection of hilarious, satirical sketches in the show will see Uys also portray his much-appreciated Jewish African princess Nowell Fine, Cape Malay firebrand Mrs Petersen, Bergie Wilhelmina Opklim, and Evita's outspoken sister Bambi Kellermann. The ghost of PW Botha, recently seen in his Wilderness house, will also make a spooky appearance. There will be a special guest at every performance. Tannie will also autograph personal copies of her best-selling cookery book Evita's Kossie Sikelela after each show. Performances take place at 20:30 on 6, 7 and 8 August. Tickets are priced at R150. Book through Computicket or The Lyric Theatre Box Office on 011 248 5000. Visit www.goldreefcity.co.za for more information.
