(Jonothan
(JJ) Didlick)
Jonothan (JJ) Didlick returns to Durban in
April, (over the Easter weekend) to present his one-man tribute to the music of
two different icons and legends of the entertainment industry. He is here for three
shows only at Rhumbelow Theatre at Tina’s Hotel in Kloof!
Didlick last performed in Durban in his
tribute to Canadian superstar Michael Bublé and then relocated to Gauteng to
perform as Queen frontman, Freddie Mercury, on The Barnyard Theatre circuit, a
role he has filled for some six years and has just completed a run at The
Barnyard Theatre’s Emperor’s Palace, in a show called One Vision.
He is a fan of both Bublé and Mercury’s
music and passionate about these stars.
Vocally, they are very different singers
and Jonothan enjoys the relaxed and casual manner in which Bublé performs his
“big band” golden oldies, as well as his creative flair when performing his own
compositions.
Freddie Mercury, on the other hand, is an
entirely different kettle of fish, with his fantastic range and eccentric
presentation style.
In this show, Didlick hopes to capture the
essence of both artists’ talents, while at the same time, paying tribute to
these two legends of modern music.
Expect to hear hits like Mack the Knife, Heartache Tonight, It’s a
Kinda Magic, The Great Pretender, Sway, Tie Your Mother Down, Everything, One
Vision - he might even try Bohemian
Rhapsody - with help from audience members as backing vocalists! The
stadium classics will also feature: We
are the Champions, We will Rock You and Another
One Bites The Dust. Of course, there will be the common song performed by
both artists: Crazy Little Thing Called
Love.
The show runs from April 19 to 21 with
shows on Friday at and Saturday at 20h00 and on Sunday at 13h45. (The theatre
venue opens 60 minutes before show for drinks)
