As the revue features a separate troupe of six dancers, their routines and all choreography will be staged by Siobhan Day. She has won several Clover Showtime Awards at both Senior and Junior levels
The revue, which this year focuses on the many songs with music by Richard Rodgers, in the first half of the show with lyrics by Lorenz "Larry" Hart and after interval with Oscar Hammerstein II, has a core cast led by last year's Showtime debutantes Shannon Hubbard and James van der Merwe, supported by new Showtimers Abi Ranwell, Amber April, Kayla Mathiesen, Isabella Rosochacki, Kerry-Lee Jeffrey, Kyrah Lloyd, Kyla Smith and Arthur Daniels.
The dancers are Britney Shaw, Gia Smith, Kayla Auld, Rachel Parker, Skye Phillips and Ma-Bell Muller, who performed in the 2015 edition, Walkn' Happy.
Also, back are a group of Charlo Primary School pupils, Anneke Pienaar, Dane' van Dyk, Kaylin Roberts, Lea Carelse, Lene' Scheepers, Meagan Vogel, Dillon Roberts, Jared Doubell and Sam Vos.

OWN is abbreviation for Our Writer’s Network. Its main objective is to pull from the expertise of writers of all kinds; academic and creative in the metro – particularly the young black writers I rub shoulders with. The purpose of focusing on young black writers is to shatter the myth of the one narrative. OWN is to spotlight the voice and views of young writers in a space that they can own – away from the overlooking eye of institutional trickery. Providing a space for writers to be as honest and if needed brutal as possible.
