With two fabulous musicals coming to Dubai, plus Cirque Le Noir, and family shopping markets, there is plenty going on in our desert city this week! And with the school holidays here, make sure you check out our roundup of fab Spring Camps to keep the kiddos nice and busy!
Here are the dates for your diary, mamas…
The Sound of Music
Considered by many to be the best-loved and most successful movie musical in history, The Sound of Music is an absolute family fave. From “My Favourite Things”, and “Edelweiss”, to “Sixteen Going on Seventeen” and “Do Re Mi”, you won’t be able to stop yourself from singing along. Based on a true story, The Sound Of Music is more than entertainment – it’s a tale about the touching memory of Maria and the Von Trapp family, united through their love of music and their struggle for freedom, just prior to the Second World War. So, what are you waiting for, mamas? Get booking!
