Another peek behind the candelabra
MAGALIESSIG- The Liberace revival hits once more, and South Africa is part of the fun.
Multi award-winning theatre star Jonathan Roxmouth is back with his new piano show, Call Me Lee.
Following the success of A Handful of Keys, The Phantom of the Opera and most recently Sunset Boulevard, Roxmouth pays tribute to Mister Showmanship, Liberace – or as his friends knew him, Lee .
This time round Roxmouth traces the journey of the man who became Liberace through the well-known classics that made him a showbiz icon and popular pianist for more than 40 years.
Everything from the Boogie Woogie to the Beer Barrel Polka, Tchaikovsky to Chopin and of course nostalgic hits like I’ll Be Seeing You and I’m Always Chasing Rainbows make up a selection of music that guarantees something for everyone.
It also features some of the most lavish, glittering costumes seen on the Montecasino stage by award-winning designer Lena Olivier worthy of the memory of Liberace.
Music. Glitter. Laughter. What more do you need for a great night out at the theatre?
The show runs from 2 to 27 April at the Pieter Toerien Montecasino theatre.
