Keyboard Killers returns to the Sneddon
Take South Africa`s ‘King of the Keyboard’, von Memerty and put him together with eight of the greatest song writing piano stars and you have the recipe for a smash-hit show.
MAKING a welcome return for his second run after a phenomenal sold out season last year, Ian von Memerty returns to the Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre with his latest offering, Keyboard Killers, from 28 February to 5 March.
Take South Africa`s ‘King of the Keyboard’, von Memerty and put him together with eight of the greatest song writing piano stars and you have the recipe for a smash-hit, `killer` show! Von Memerty takes eight of the greats – Stevie Wonder, Noel Coward, John Legend, Irving Berlin, Freddy Mercury, Fats Waller, Cole Porter and Billy Joel – an outstanding octave of pianistic power, and together with the driving percussion of Bronwen Clacherty and the cool cat double bass of Andrew Warneke, shares his love for these iconic creators.
It is an electrifying collection of talent and their musical legacy is unparalleled. The show features the drama of Bohemian Rhapsody, the swinging cool of I Get A Kick out Of You, the wicked wit of Don`t Put Your Daughter On the Stage Mrs Worthington, the romance of Ordinary People, the showbiz razzle-dazzle of Puttin` On the Ritz, the groove and joy of Isn`t She Lovely and the toe-tapping stride of Ain’t Misbehaving.
Enjoy the virtuosity, the style, the sheer joy of great music and timeless words brought to new life by `the James Bond of South African musical theatre`.
Booking is through Computicket.
