The director of the show, von Memerty will be in Durban to host the audition process starting at 10:30am.
“You will need to perform one razzle dazzle piano piece, in any style. And then a contrasting number – a song, a parody or something completely different. So pianists need to prepare two totally different pieces to blow us away,” von Memerty said.
The successful pianist would need to be available to perform in A Handful of Keys for the Durban run from 8 to 19 November.
Audiences can still expect highlights such as ‘The Complete History of The Broadway Musical in 12 Minutes’, Liberace, Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Funeral for A Friend and the SA Medley.
Anyone who is keen to showcase their piano-playing prowess can email sophie@pubmat.co.za for further details, and to book their space before Friday 20 October.
The Rhumbelow Theatre can be found at 42 Cunningham Rd, Umbilo, Durban.
