LIBERACE, LIVE FROM HEAVEN

THE LEE LIBERACE STORY

HIS MUSIC, HIS COSTUMES  - HIS LIFE!

Direct from London's highly successful and critically acclaimed 2009 season LIBERACE, LIVE FROM HEAVEN starring the popular West End star BOBBY CRUSH is to be presented from Kerikeri to Invercargill throughout July and August

2010. Written especially for Bobby by respected British Playwright Julian Woolford, this hilarious one man - one piano show is an imagining of Liberace's impact on Heaven following his untimely demise on Feburary 4 1987. 'Mr Showmanship' arrived at the gates of Heaven and GOD tells him that he needs to play a little Gershwin before the angels decide if he enters or not. Don't miss the inclusion of hilarious voice-overs of God and St. Peter by special surprise guests! This is the synopsis of Julian Woolford's latest comedy musical which offers the award winning UK PIANO ENTERTAINER AND ACTOR BOBBY CRUSH the unique chance to bring back on stage the legendary LIBERACE.

 

For well over thirty years, Lee Liberace was the worlds highest paid entertainer providing performances that were as spectacular as they were gaudy. A flamboyant personality supported by a strong musical technique, Liberace appealed to audiences all around the world.

 

London press quotes for 'LIBERACE, LIVE FROM HEAVEN' include:

'If ever there was a performer destined to play Liberace, then Bobby Crush is that man. Blessed with his own strong keyboard technique, Crush, in a selection of diamante-encrusted outfits, evidently relishes the insane 'gorgeousness' the epitomised a Liberace concert. Old classical music favourites with the 'boring bits cut out' are merged with popular tunes, offering more than a hint of what a great entertainer Liberace was'

GEORGE BLACK, 'WHAT'S ON STAGE' LONDON - October 2009

'BOBBY CRUSH MAKES AN IRRESISTABLE LIBERACE' Sunday Telegraph

'Bobby enthralled us with his amazing renditions of music by Mozart, Gershin and even Michael Jackson'
