If you've followed him on Strictly Come Dancing, you'll recognise the name, but this is a different kind of bill. Radebe describes the show as a moving celebration that blends ballroom classics with South African rhythms, so it's as much about where he's from as it is about the dancing. He's a West End artist as well as a choreographer, and that comes through in how the night is put together.
There's a bit of a life story woven in here. Radebe was born in Zamdela Sasolburg, South Africa, and started dancing when he was seven. He was a two-time finalist on the South African version of Strictly before joining the British one in 2018, and he became one of the main professionals there in 2019. He became a British citizen in 2026, and the title Finally Home points back to that journey. The show draws on those two sides of his life — the ballroom he's known for and the South African rhythms he grew up with.
It's a paid event, and tickets are on sale through the Mayflower Theatre's official site. The show starts at 19:30 on Sunday 2 May, so you've got the rest of the evening to get home.
