The Mysteries - Yiimimangaliso previewed 11 September 2009, opened 15 September 2009, closed 3 October 2009 at the Garrick Theatre in London.

From the Creation to the Resurrection through Noah's Ark and the Nativity, some of the greatest stories ever told are brought to life in this vibrant spectacle of music, dance, colour and spirit. Performed by the Isango Portobello Theatre Company in the languages of South Africa, including English, Xhosa, Afrikaans, Tswana and Zulu, The Mysteries - Yiimimangaliso also employs the glorious and exuberant musical sound which has become the company’s trademark, featuring township percussion and joyous a cappella singing.

This uplifting and passionate production is a moving and inspiring experience for all.

First seen in 2004 in two sell-out London seasons at Wilton's Music Hall and the Queen's Theatre, The Mysteries - Yiimimangaliso now returns to London's West End in a new production at the Garrick Theatre for 25 performances only with an ensemble cast of 33 performers led by Pauline Malefane.

The Olivier Award-winning South African company returns to London's West End following their critically-acclaimed production of The Magic Flute – Impempe Yomlingo which enjoyed a West End season in 2008.
