So many amazing musical artists have passed on before their time, and the world still remembers their music so vividly. Gone Too Soon is a fabulous tribute to the music legends we all loved, who died way before their time, but live on through their timeless music.
The show is coming to The Lyric Theatre on 20th and 21st October and will delight audiences old and young as they celebrate the powerhouse singers that became legends through their music over the past few decades.
Homage will be paid to a diverse selection of some of the greats, including Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Freddie Mercury, Luther Vandross, George Michael, Elvis Presley, David Bowie, Prince, Amy Winehouse, Nat King Cole, Natalie Cole, John Lennon and more. South African artists will also be featured in the show, including Brenda Fassie and Mandoza.
Although the show is filled with remembrance, it will also focus strongly on the uplifting atmosphere of inspiration that they continue to live on through their music, the memories they still evoke in all of us, as well as the impact that so many of them have made on the industry and world as a whole.
Taking to the stage will be three of South Africa’s most talented vocalists, Timothy Moloi, Joseph Clark and Mariechan (from Jamali) who will set the stage alight as they perform the instantly recognisable hits.
An exciting collaboration is the inclusion of the superb Johannesburg Youth Orchestra conducted by Eddie Clayton, celebrating their 20th Anniversary, who join the vocalists on stage to evoke over 2 hours of unforgettable memories.
Gone Too Soon is on at The Lyric at Gold Reef City for two show only – Saturday 20 October at 20h00 and Sunday 21 October at 14h00, and tickets from R 150 – R 280.
Bookings are through www.goldreefcity.co.za or Computicket or by calling The Lyric Theatre Box Office on 011 248 5000.
