Following a highly successful opening run that drew packed audiences and glowing reviews, the festive musical “In Search of the King” returns to the Celebration Centre this weekend for its second showing on 5, 6 and 7 December 2025.
The Zimbabwean-created production, which blends original music, rich storytelling, and striking stage design, has been widely praised for its artistry and emotional depth.
Audiences from the first weekend have taken to social platforms describing the musical as “world-class,” “breathtaking,” and “a landmark moment for Zimbabwean theatre.”
Producers say many who attended last week’s debut have already booked tickets for a second showing a testament to the impact the musical has made in its opening days.
“We have been humbled by the feedback,” said Event Promoter Lyncolin Kapswara of Events by GEC.
“People are returning because they want to relive the experience with family and friends. That tells us the story and the performances have resonated deeply.”
“We have introduced the $60 for 5 tickets “Festive Bundle” perfect for families, friends, colleagues, churches, schools, or any group wanting to share this experience together,” added Event Promoter Lyncolin Kapswara.
Featuring some of Zimbabwe’s most celebrated voices including Pastor Bonnie Deuschle, Janet Manyowa, Arthur Evans, Walter Tapfumaneyi, and a full ensemble of musicians and choir members the 3,000-seat auditorium has transformed into a festive stage showcasing one of the largest local productions staged in recent years.
Kapswara said the creative team is looking forward to welcoming new audiences as the show enters its second and final weekend.
“This production was created to be shared widely, and we are glad Zimbabwe is embracing it the way it has. If you missed the first run, this is your chance. And if you watched it already, we are ready to welcome you back.”
