A Handful of keys
My husband took me out on a "live" date last night, knowing how much I love live performances! I have been wanting to see this show for years... and finally got to see it last night... it was definitely worth the wait! It has been going since 1994! Do yourselves the favour and go and see this.
Here is a review...
Roelof Colyn & Jonathan Roxmouth
A Handful of Keys
MAIN Theatre
Thanks to countless requests from you - South Africa's most successful two hander revue is back!
This hilarious piano show, winner of over a dozen awards, returns with all of its ever-green appeal intact, featuring some dazzling new material.
Roelof Colyn, "the witty, urbane, master of comic timing" - had the press eating out of his hand and thrilled audiences with his "musical mastery and goofy charm". He is joined by the extraordinarily talented newcomer, Jonathan Roxmouth, who has been igniting stages around the country with his performances as Amadeus "a totally unique pianistic madman", Buddy "an assured, powerful, versatile talent" and Vince Fontaine "a born show-stealer - truly outstanding".
Directed by its creator Ian Von Memerty, these two men at two grand pianos give a dazzling display of pianistic virtuosity and hilarious impersonation. A performance of constant surprise, intelligence and wit, with music that ranges from the great classic masters of Bach and Beethoven, through the kings of soul Ray Charles and Fats Waller, via the queens of show biz and pop Elton John, Freddy Mercury and Liberace.
A Handful of Keys is a completely South African product of international standard.
DON'T MISS THIS PHENOMENON - SEEN BY MORE THAN 250 000 PEOPLE, IN MORE THAN 750 PERFORMANCES ON 3 CONTINENTS
All bookings at the Pieter Toerien Theatre, Montecasino Box Office & Computicket
