(Anthony Stonier)
The Dive at the Hexagon in Pietermaritzburg is a perfect,
warm and intimate venue for The Sound Of
His Music - Richard Rodgers. This delightful show features one of KZN’s top
artists, Anthony Stonier, who takes a “down memory-lane” meander through the
marvelous melodies of one of the most famous composers of all time - Richard
Rodgers. Most people are familiar with the Rodgers and Hammerstein musicals - Oklahoma!, South Pacific, The King and I
and of course, The Sound of Music.
Less well-known was an earlier collaboration with another
lyricist, Lorenz Hart. Audiences will, however, recognise some of the following
Jazz Standards - songs such as Where or
When, This Can’t be Love and Bewitched,
Bothered and Bewildered to name a few they wrote together.
The playlist includes Oh,
What a Beautiful Morning!, Some Enchanted Evening, Surrey with a Fringe on Top,
Hello Young Lovers, Edelweiss and You'll
Never Walk Alone amongst many other well-known and nostalgia inducing
songs!
Anthony Stonier is one of KZN's most popular singer/actors
and has won Best Male Vocalist at the Mercury Durban Theatre Awards three
times. This show sold out at The Witness Hilton Arts Festival in September
2014.
