De Novo Entertainment

De Novo has been formed by professional performers from various other groups. All of our members also have an extensive background in musical theatre which makes for a great point of difference.

De Novo brings a mixture of music and humour to the stage. The start of our show is all about the glitz and glamour of showbiz with popular songs from stage and song. We then take you for a trip down memory lane with tributes to our favourite jazz singers of the Golden Age before wrapping up the entertainment with a medley of songs from living legends! From rat pack to rhapsody, vaudeville to Vegas and classical to classics, our trio show aims to delight crowds of all ages.
