High-flying Kalubela show in Dubai

Kalubela, an all-singing, all-dancing explosive aerial extravaganza, opens tonight at the First Group Theatre, Souk Madinat Jumeirah. We couldn’t wait that long, so we snuck into the stars’ dress rehearsal and took a look before the curtain goes up. The flamboyant Arabic and Oriental-themed show promises to carry the audience through an enthralling exploration of love, featuring songs from the glamorous age of Marilyn Monroe, Eartha Kitt and Etta James to the crooning of Michael Buble and sizzling Christina Aguilera.
