New Music Hall

The New Music Hall was a theatre which J.E.H. English set up for his newly formed company (The Gentlemen Amateurs) in 1858 in Buitekant Street, Cape Town.

They performed mainly comic sketches and songs, based on local events. By November 1858 English had disappeared from the scene and the theatre was renamed the Cabinet Theatre by the new lessee, Charles Fraser, in 1859.
