Take SA’s ‘king of the keyboard’, Ian von Memerty, and put him together with eight of the greatest songwriting piano stars and you have the recipe for a ‘smash’; ‘a hit’; a ‘killer show’!

Why, of the millions of people who play the piano, are there those rare individuals whose music and lyrics inspire for decades?

Ian takes 8 of the great – Stevie Wonder, Noel Coward, John Legend, Irving Berlin, Freddy Mercury, Fats Waller, Cole Porter and Billy Joel – an outstanding octave of pianistic power. Together with a driving percussionist and a sexy thrumming double bassist, Ian will share his love for these iconic creators.

It is an electrifying collection of talent and their musical legacy is unparalleled – 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 show bizz 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.

Enjoy the virtuosity, the style, the sheer joy of great music and timeless words brought to new life by ‘the James Bond of musical theatre’.
