After months
of preparations, the Okyeame Kwame’s
Versatile Show finally plays at the National Theatre this Friday.
The Show which
seeks to combine music, dance and theatre, started with a weekly reality series
countdown , which kept fans informed of every development along the way until
the show finally hits the stage.
This week marked
the final rehearsal with the ex-megastar band. All artistes performing came
over to have their sessions albeit in stages. There was Raquel, Samini, Kofi B,
Vera of D3, Edem, Kesse, Bradez, to mention a few.
One thing
certain about all the artistes on the bill was their zeal and preparedness to
interact with their fans on stage again. They all made it clear that, it was
fun working with the band but for a musician, the real joy is when you are up
on stage and you can feel the energy with the crowd in their response.

Production is well noted for bringing the stage alive by telling everyday stories which people can
relate to. On the Okyeame Kwame Versatile Show, they promise it won’t be
anything short of what they are noted for with theatre.
The versatile
man himself, Okyeame Kwame, said for him it has been a journey. “I thank God Almighty
that this dream has also been realized. With the support I have from my fellow
artiste, I am raring to go out there and make this a big success.”
Okyeame Kwame
confessed it has been very difficult, but he would do this again despite the
challenges, “coordinating this whole event has not been easy but am grateful to
my staff who put their shoulders to the wheel to make it all a reality. I would
urge all people out there to come to the National Theatre in their numbers to
support this cause. For me that is my motivation.”
For accomplished
choreographer, Professor Nii Yartey, this is yet another opportunity to show
his versatile side by fusing modernity with tradition when it comes to dancing.
The Noyam Dance Group, well noted for winning international award for their
dance choreographer are enthusiastic about showcasing Ghanaian dance fusion to
make a statement. The Street Dancers who went through auditions are ripe to
show patrons their talents and skills.
