Virtuosic piano medleys, larger-than-life singing sensations, and feverish doses of comedy. The “a la Liberace!” variety show features the songs of legendary showman Liberace and other musical greats. Classical pianist David Saffert stars as Liberace (style, mannerisms and piano chops included), and is accompanied by Jillian Snow Harris giving spot-on performances as Bernadette Peters and Liza Minnelli. Along with Bo Ayars, Liberace’s music director for 13 years, they delight audiences with a show like no other.
Additional musicians will include Greg Kehl Moore (woodwinds), Earl Salemink (trumpet), Dave Budimir (trombone), Vince Osborn (bass) and Brett Jones (drums).
