Sneeuwitjie on stage at Emperors Palace in May 2016
Friday, January 29, 2016
A brand new Afrikaans pantomime comes to life on stage at Emperors Palace from 6 May to 12 June 2016. On the back of the sensational Aspoestertjie (Cinderella), Sneeuwitjie (Snow White) enacts the age-old challenge “Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?”
The production boasts big names in the South African entertainment industry, both on and off the stage. Opposite the evergreen Nadine as Snow White, the legendary Angela Kilian embodies the evil Queen as never seen before, and Reynard Slabberttakes the leap from TV to join them as the knightly Prince. Comedy favourites Tiaan Rautenbach as Snow White’s Nanny and Clint Lesch as the Head of Palace staff once again add sparkling wit, to the delight of kids and grown-ups alike!
In charge of weaving the magic and music is Director Weslee Lauder and Musical Director Heidi Edeling, under the banner of Add-Life Productions, whose other hit shows include Ester, Liefling, From the Footlights, and off course Aspoestertjie.
So come young and old to the Theatre of Marcellus in May to take part in the spell-binding tale of Sneeuwitjie. Tickets are priced from R150 per person and can be purchased through the Emperors Palace Box Office on 011 928 1297/1213 or by visiting emperorspalace.com or www.computicket.com.

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
