West Kowloon Cabaret Festival: Crisel Consunji & MsLolo – Tales of Growing Up

A Heartwarming Cabaret Journey: Tales of Growing Up

Experience a truly magical evening at the Xiqu Centre Grand Theatre as part of the inaugural West Kowloon Cabaret Festival. On June 5, 2026, the acclaimed musical theatre performer Crisel Consunji and the talented MsLolo (Londiwe Ngubeni) will unite for their soul-stirring performance, Tales of Growing Up.

The Artistic Vision

This show is more than just a concert; it is a narrative journey through music. Accompanied by the Baumhaus Choir and a six-piece live band, Crisel and MsLolo will perform a curated selection of iconic Disney animation themes, Broadway show tunes, and beloved children's songs. These melodies, which have shaped the childhoods of so many, serve as the backdrop for the duo's personal stories of friendship, resilience, and growth.

Originally from the Philippines and South Africa respectively, both artists found their footing in Hong Kong through their early work at Hong Kong Disneyland. Years later, having navigated roles as mothers, educators, creators, and performers, they return to the stage to share the wisdom and joy they have gathered along the way. The performance also features enchanting storytelling by children, offering a pure perspective that promises to heal and inspire audiences of all ages—whether you are a young dreamer or an adult learning to grow.
