Blast from the Past 2026

Impact Community Theatre Company proudly presents one of the year’s most popular musical events – Blast from the Past! This high-energy celebration of classic hits is back and better than ever, promising two unforgettable hours of toe-tapping, sing-along magic that spans five decades of chart-topping favourites.

Whether you grew up with the rock ‘n’ roll rhythms of the '50s, grooved through the disco-fuelled '70s, or discovered the golden oldies through a Guardian’s of the Galaxy playlist — there’s something for everyone. This year’s show features a dynamic lineup of top local talent bringing to life the music of Queen, Michael Jackson, The Cranberries, Frank Sinatra, Whitney Houston and Bon Jovi — all in one incredible show!

Directed for the first time by local director, performer and Impact Vice-President Leandi Fontini, Blast from the Past showcases a sensational mix of returning Impact favourites and exciting new faces. This year, Blast includes the 90s for the first time, opening up a whole new decade of chart toppers. This year’s cast includes local star Monique Tobias, joined by popular Impact regular Danyke de Beer. Expect some vocal fireworks from Impact favourites Debra Couries, Alistair Josephs, Elmarie Jonker and newcomer Chireen Bennett.

An Electrifying Musical Journey
From timeless ballads to high-voltage rock anthems, this year’s Blast takes audiences on a magical ride through the music that defined generations. The hit parade keeps on coming with What’s Up by 4 Non Blondes, I’m Still Standing, How Will I Know, Black or White and the classic, Save the Last Dance for Me.
