Helloooo my loyal Fans!
Yes Ladies & Gentlemen it’s the rebrand of formerly Lisa Theunissen, welcoming you to the world of Lisa Goldin :> with that comes Goldin Divas (all-girl show) and Goldin & The Guys (her live band for songwriting & covers).
One of the most classic lines in my industry is, ‘Perform like you’re in Central Park to a sold-out stadium of fans, even though you’re in the local cafe down the road with just a businessman reading the paper and staff listening, because you don’t know who is there watching. Be seen, be heard…create your own luck to make it.’
GoldinDivas
Well a couple of months ago I was offered an opportunity to stay in South Africa and create my own show, of an all-girl cast. Thing is I’d written the show in Dubai last year for a dear client and was due to perform it in October 2013. However my commitments in South Africa became greater so I passed up that gig. The last year has been a challenging one of dealing with family illness and quite frankly I’ve needed to be close to home without divulging into too much information. Point being, the opportunity to launch a show in South Africa has meant more to me personally than business-glory. Unfortunately it did mean declining a contract elsewhere this year. It’s funny how the universe hands you everything you need in good time and place :> So two months later I am blessed to be in SA with a showrun at Stone Cradle, booked national roadshow next February-March and a team of phenomenal people from management, specialist dancers and technicians. Thank you Shaky Russell for giving me lift off. It’s people like you who make a difference in a cut-throat industry, and I am so very grateful for the blessing.
As for the show; expect fireworks of song and dance, interactive-audience-enticement whilst taking you on a journey of inspiring women who make a difference, a tribute to famous Divas and tackling the trivia of love-sweet-love with Oscar. The performers are Lisa Goldin (director, writer, MC, singer, songwriter, performer, party-creator, tear-jerker, dancing queen), Yolandi Olckers (GoldinDivas choreographer, exceptional professional dancer – from ballet to aerial from South Africa’s very own best ballet company), Tracey Simmonds (specialist aerial act on pole, silk & lyra, plus dancing diva), the only male star, Oscar (a mannequin we have much fun with considering the history there), Denver Phooko and Ryno Uys (sound and lighting technicians, the backstage geniuses we couldn’t ever survive without, if they go we go) and Shaky Russell Promotions (Shaky’s Secret Service of business expertise – he is the Biz!). Setlist includes many eras of cabaret, burlesque, power ballads, country, pop, rock, soul from Liza Minnelli, Marilyn Monroe, Barbra Streisand, Shirley Bassey, Janis Joplin, Adele, Queen, Dolly Parton, Shania Twain, Myley Cyrus, Tina Turner, Madonna, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, JLO, Sia and one of my own songs too. It’s a one-and-a-half-hour sit-down show in a fabulous supperclub environment.

This mid-point of 2014 leaves me reflecting on the thought of ‘what kind of woman do I want to be?’. The one who makes a difference, is bold, fearless, a lady, a fighter, an icon, an ageless soul that takes the galaxy by storm through music, art and culture.
Have a brilliant month and keep sharing the Goldin life…may the force always be with you :>
Love & light
Goldilocks
