SHY MUSIC has announced the arrival of Calling Us Home – a groundbreaking musical set to captivate audiences at The REPS Theatre in Harare from 26 to 28 September 2025.
Tickets are now on sale for what promises to be an unforgettable theatrical experience, blending powerful storytelling, music and breathtaking visuals.
Set across two continents, Calling Us Home follows the journey of Grace, an African princess forced to flee her war-torn homeland.
Penniless and alone, she finds herself in the harsh, unforgiving docklands of an American city, where she encounters both danger and unexpected love.
The musical weaves themes of hope, courage, and the unbreakable human spirit, offering a narrative that resonates deeply with African and global audiences alike.
Originally staged in Cape Town in 2023 to critical acclaim, Calling Us Home is a rare feat—a grand-scale musical opera entirely conceived and produced in Africa.
The touring cast features performers from South Africa, Zimbabwe, Angola, and the U.S., supported by an international creative team, including:
- Writer & Composer Alice Gillham (Cape Town)
- Director Peter Flynn (New York) – the first American to tour a full-scale original musical in Southern Africa
- Costume Designer Pei Lee (Taiwan & Washington DC)
- Music Director Renée Gamez (Mexico & USA)
Beyond entertainment, SHY MUSIC and PROSOUND are pioneering an Education and Development Programme alongside the tour.
This initiative will offer aspiring artists and technicians interactive workshops, talks, and mentorship sessions with the cast and crew, providing invaluable insights into large-scale musical production.
