And, to ensure it’s a genuinely three-dimensional experience, some of them will be stepping out of the celluloid, as it were, and shaking their photogenic booty on the stage. Featuring Sabrina Mahfouz, A F Harrold, Dzifa Benson, Joe Duggan, Jasmine Cooray, Joelle Taylor, Kayo Chingonyi and Tshaka Campbell.
