(James Smith, Ian von Memerty & Roelof
Colyn )
Sibaya Casino and Entertainment Kingdom
proudly presents one of South Africa’s most successful music revues of all
time, A Handful of Keys, in November
2017.
Launched in 1994 as a co-creation between
Ian von Memerty and Bryan Schimmel, A
Handful of Keys, has played to more the 420,000 people in over 1450
performances over the last 23 years. The show returns to KZN buoyed by
countless requests from the public.
Multiple awards, love letters from the
critics and adulation from audiences have poured in for this "brilliant,
hilarious and virtuoso celebration of the piano". The show unravels as a
constant surprise with devastating wit and musical mastery; from piano
pyrotechnics to inspiring inventiveness in a two-hour fireworks display of
excitement, energy and sheer, mind-blowing talent.
Audiences can still expect highlights such
as The Complete History of The Broadway
Musical in 12 Minutes, Liberace, Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Funeral for A Friend and the SA Medley but of course, the
opportunities to invent new material are tantalizing!
The virtuoso talents are Roelof Colyn, a Handful stalwart since 2001, beloved by
audiences for his effortless charm, dead pan wit and the liquid magic of his
playing. He is joined by James Smith, aged 19, the youngest person to appear in
A Handful of Keys.
As von Memerty says; "It is a risk
putting such a young person into a show as complicated as this, but I believe
that James, with his unique mix of musicality, quirky humour and the beautiful
timbre of his expressive voice, is up to the challenge".
Plus, this year, director von Memerty, who
has expanded and developed the show since 1997, has added a new and dazzling
difference. This time around there will be an extra handful on stage. Don`t
miss this "endlessly evergreen explosion of entertainment".
A Handful
of Keys will run at the iZulu Theatre from November
8 to 19, 2017. Tickets R100, R130 and R160 at Computicket and the Sibaya Box
office. For more information visit www.suninternational.com or follow Sibaya on
