‘King of the keyboard’ returns to Sneddon
The show will feature an electrifying collection of hits, such as Bohemian Rhapsody, I Get A Kick out Of You and Isn`t She Lovely.
IAN von Memerty returns to the Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre with his latest musical-comedy offering, Keyboard Killers, for five performances only from 9 to 13 November.
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 shares his love for these iconic creators.
It is an electrifying collection of talent and unparalleled musical legacy. Featuring 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.
Von Memerty is accompanied by two superb musicians, Andrew Warneke who has his masters in music on double bass, and Bronwen Clacherty who has her doctorate in music on percussion. The production boasts magnificent lighting by David Limbert, sets by Mark Farrow and costumes by Morne van Der Schyff.
Tickets range from R130 to R150 (with special discounts for block bookings and pensioners). There are two matinees on 12 and 13 November, which has pensioners’ discounts/concessions.
