Madiba – The Musical is playing at the Crown Theatre until January 12th. The musical tells the story of Nelson Mandela’s journey from activist to political prisoner and his long walk to freedom.

In the musical South African actor Perci Moeketsi plays Mandela and Perth’s own Tim ‘Timomatic’ Omaji plays political activist Sam Onotou.

We got s sneak peak of the show this afternoon and it’s looks pretty impressive. We also have a quick chat with Tim Omaji about his character and what attracted his to the role, where he told us this is the most dramatic role he’s ever undertaken.

Take a listen to our chat with Tim ‘Timomatic’ Omaji, tickets to Madiba – The Musical are available from Ticketmaster.
