People Of Note - Wessel Odendaal

Loading player...
It’s always exciting when a new musical opens and this is what will happen on the 8th December when the Abrahamse and Meyer production of Star Crossed opens at the Artscape Arena. It tells the story of the eccentric Elizabeth Klarer who, in 1910, alleged that she was abducted by aliens where she had a son. The music was written by the South African composer and music director Wessel Odendaal and Rodney Trudgeon spoke to him about his score for the musical and about his many musical activities.
