The latest Kat and the Kings production is dedicated to the memory of Taliep Pietersen who co-wrote this multi-award winning musical with the renowned singer-songwriter David Kramer in 1995. It is the only South African musical that has been performed on both Broadway and the West End, where it won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Musical in London in 1999.

Louis and Sybel Möller had both been involved in the performing arts most of their lives, Louis as co-founder and producer of, amongst others, Carte Blanche, and Sybel Coetzee as a freelance actress and TV presenter.

Electrosonic SA was established in 1991 with a vision to create a company focused on the audio-visual and the entertainment lighting industries in South Africa. The idea was to sign distribution agreements with leading manufacturers, and to import, distribute, install, and support these products.

Contracts were initially signed with a luminaire company (CCT lighting); a dimming and control manufacturer (Zero 88); and, a smoke machine manufacturer (Jem Smoke).

Within a year Jem rescinded the agreement and signed up with another distributor. Electrosonic SA needed to find an alternative, and approached Martin Professional to enquire about their smoke machines and whether they would be interested in distributing in South Africa. This was the start of a long and fruitful partnership that continues to this day.
