Ultimate Phil Collins Tribute Show, ONE MORE NIGHT, at Emperors Palace this November
Friday, September 23, 2016
For the first time in South Africa, this superb production will showcase all of his greatest pop songs and ballads at Emperors Palace, including the chart-topping hits, Another Day in Paradise, Sussudio, Groovy Kind Of Love and You’ll Be In My Heart.
On stage at the Theatre of Marcellus for three weeks from 17 November to 4 December, this dynamic two-hour concert will be performed live by the multi-talented drumming vocalist, Victor James Chapman, backed by an incredible 10-piece band. What sets ONE MORE NIGHT apart is that the classic Collins’ “two drummer” line-up forms an integral part of the act, with a tight horn section and glorious guitar solos that will make the songs come to life.
With a natural stage presence, huge energy as a drummer and warm yet edgy singing voice, Chapman is the perfect frontman for ONE MORE NIGHT. He has toured extensively in South Africa, sharing the stage with Wonderboom, Sugar Drive, Mean Mr Mustard, Dozi and Tree63, to name a few. In Nashville in 2001 he was nominated as one of the Top 5 vocalists by the National Association of Artists, competing against over 3 000 entries from all over the globe. As a World Vision Artist he is also an ambassador for this organisation that works to alleviate hunger and poverty worldwide.
ONE MORE NIGHT is produced by acclaimed local creative team Add-Life Productions, who since 2007 have become known for their beautifully crafted original Afrikaans musicals: SNEEUWITJIE, ASPOESTERTJIE, DROOMKIND, DAWID, ESTER and HOUTKRUIS. They also produced the South African staging of BUDDY – THE BUDDY HOLLY STORY, and adapted the hugely successful LIEFLING for stage. Following the the Broadway Concert FROM THE FOOTLIGHTS, they are excited to put together a tribute show of international standard.

Reviews
First, look down when you walk in: the interior walkways are paved with authentic Smart Stone Huguenot Cobbles, engineered specifically to replicate the tactile feeling of walking on real, ancient Roman highways. It is an incredible piece of immersive design that has stood the test of time since its inception.
Second, as someone sensitive to travel fatigue, the engineering here is spectacular. Despite being right next to major runways, the structural acoustics completely eliminate aviation noise. Furthermore, if you explore the convention wing, the rooms are named chronologically after Roman Emperors (Claudius, Augustus, Tiberius), featuring a highly advanced smart-lighting system that subtly shifts tone to help international travelers fight jet lag.
The multi-tiered security checks at the gates provide immense peace of mind, making it a safe, self-contained empire. From the manicured garden paths to the world-class service, it is a flawless, deeply thought-out destination. Don't just stop by for a quick game—take a moment to appreciate the sheer craftsmanship of the Palace of Dreams!
Hidden Details Most Guests Don't Know The Secret History of the Floors:
When the resort opened in September 2000, it was named Caesars Gauteng. The internal casino paths use custom Huguenot Cobble and Shepstone Pavers designed by SmartStone to precisely mimic the durability and texture of ancient Roman stone highways.
The "Imperial Court" Conference Subtext:
The major conference rooms in the South Wing are purposefully named after successive Roman emperors—Claudius, Augustus, Tiberius, Florian, and Romanus. They feature a hidden central smart-lighting grid that automatically shifts color warmth to match the biological clock of travelers suffering from jet lag.
The Multilayered Security Ring: Casual visitors often miss how tightly the security net is woven. Because of its position right next to O.R. Tambo International Airport, the property utilizes an advanced, continuous perimeter sweep and bag-screening protocol that keeps it significantly safer than standard commercial venues.
The Sound-Insulated Aviation Oasis: Despite being directly in the flight path of Africa's busiest airport, the structural glass and architectural roofing are uniquely engineered to absorb low-frequency jet engine vibrations, meaning you can sit in the gardens or sleep in the hotels in absolute peace
