BREAKING NEWS:
City toddler, Cameron Reyburn, gave his dazzling debut stage performance at a theatre in Pretoria East on Saturday 17th October.
The theatre group Heavenly Babies and Tots, which has not yet quit its day job as a nursery and pre-school in the eastern suburbs of Pretoria, staged the hit musical Soccer 2010 on the weekend. Reyburn (18 months) stole the show with his charmingly nonplussed I-don’t-really-know-what’s-going-on smile, and his unique foot-stamping, arm-waving interpretation of the compositions. Reyburn took on the role of a Jamaican soccer icon. Ironically, his act opened with the song I can see clearly now, followed by a Jamaican dance which he completed with palpable flair, the result of months of rigorous rehearsals. The other children were quite good too.
A crush of adoring fans – mostly close relatives – thronged to greet Reyburn as he exited backstage. Reporters clamoured to get a brief post-performance response from the actor. Though a little tearful after an arduous show, he seemed to be taking it all in his stride and nonchalantly announced to the public, ‘Da da da!’ which suggests that the young artist may have philosophical affiliations with early twentieth century modernist Dadaism.
Reyburn’s mother, Dalene (32), says she is ‘never one to brag’ but is simply pleased that the world has recognized her son’s evident genius. Reyburn’s father, Murray (30), was unable to be at the performance, but was deeply moved by the accounts of his son’s concert, saying ‘Upon hearing his first cry in the delivery room, I knew that Cameron was destined for stardom. Today Pretoria; tomorrow Broadway.’
Reyburn’s theatrical pursuits are briefly on hold, after the glittering weekend musical event, as he will be in a theatre of a different kind on Monday afternoon, undergoing an examination under anaesthetic at the Pretoria Eye Institute.
