CALL ME LEE



(Jonathan Roxmouth)

Multi-award winning theatre star Jonathan Roxmouth is back a Rhumbelow Theatre on July 12 to present his new piano show Call Me Lee over two weekends.

 Following the success of A Handful Of Keys, Topsy Turvy and most recently, The Phantom Of The Opera, Roxmouth pays tribute to Mr. Showmanship - Liberace ("Lee" to his friends) in this concert biography.

In Call Me Lee, Roxmouth traces the journey of the man who became Liberace through the well-known classics that made him a showbiz icon and popular pianist for more than 40 years. Everything from Boogie Woogie to the Beer Barrel Polka, Tchaikovsky to Chopin and of course nostalgic hits like I'll Be Seeing You and I'm Always Chasing Rainbows make up a selection of music that guarantees something for everyone.

Call Me Lee also features some of the most lavish glittering costumes seen on the Rhumbelow stage by award-winning designer Lena Olivier worthy of the memory of Mr. Showmanship.

The production runs from July 12 to 14 and again from July 16 to 20 at Rhumbelow Theatre with Friday and Saturday performances at 20h00 (Sunday shows starting at 18h30). The venue opens 90 minutes before show for picnic dinner.

Tickets R100 (less 25% pensioners and tables of eight or more). Take along food picnic baskets and braais will be available. There is limited secure parking and booking is essential. A cash bar is available (no alcohol may be brought on to the premises). Rhumbelow Theatre is situated in Cunningham Avenue off Bartle Road.
