About the show:
A HANDFUL OF KEYS is South Africa's most successful revue ever. A deceptively simple concept creates an evening that has critics and audiences unanimously enthralled. Two men at two pianos become _A witty piece of creative genius “; “Sensationally brilliant - four hands of hilarity and keyboard genius_ ; _Masterful, sheer brilliance and creativity. Sensational from start to finish_.
Rave reviews, combined with enthusiastic audience response, translates to box office magic. Over the last 19 years A HANDFUL OF KEYS has chalked up an impressive track record that includes nine international awards. More than 350,000 people, in 1100 performances, have been delighted by this show.
The cast members (for special showcase performances in January 2013) are Ian von Memerty (one of the co-creators) and Jonathan Roxmouth. They will bring you a glimpse of the constantly surprising and delightful show that is greater than the sum of its parts.
Show highlights include the gloriously inventive History of Broadway in 12 minutes; the elegant and energetic Ragtime, through tributes to the great showmen Liberace, Elton John, Fats Waller ; a bow to the ladies including Nina Simone and Norah Jones ; the sumptuous Rhapsody in Blue; and a dazzlingly frenetic rock 'n roll finale. Don't miss a unique and wonderfully satisfying evening in the theater.
