5.00The show is not to be missed. It is a really professional and wonderful experience of young talent in the heart of Africa, which could easily be showing in the West End or Broadway.

5.00Simunye was vibrant, colorful, and action-packed. The creative set gave life to the story and provided moving features to work with. The uniquely-colored costumes, delightfully African, allowed for freedom of movement and centered the culture. The performers gave their all for a small audience and wowed the guests from the United States.

5.00The show was excellent. It was basically a love story, but it was told in an African way so you definitely get a feel for Africa. It was in English so you could understand it. The dancing was wonderful. They were very articulate. Fabulous show, if you can fit it in your schedule, you should go!
