Music Revue

South Africa’s most successful two hander revue is back. This hilarious two-man piano show, conceived and originally performed by Ian von Memerty and Bryan Schimmel, returns with all of its ever green appeal intact along with some dazzling new material. Don’t miss this phenomenon - seen by more than 250 000 people, in more than 750 performances on 3 continents.

Roelof Colyn “the witty, urbane, master of comic timing” – has had the press eating out of his hand and thrills 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”.

Two men at two grand pianos give a dazzling display of pianistic virtuosity and hilarious impersonation. A performance of constant surprise, intelligence and wit, and 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.
