Poster Handful of Keys<\/p><\/div>\n

Although East London is a small town, there are some good cultural activities now and then. The latest show we went to was “A handful of keys” – a very good South African show in which two good pianists combine humor and music in a show with a variety of music.<\/p>\n

The show basically consisted of two pianists and two grand pianos …. the musicians played a variety of piano music including classical, jazz, broadway and pop music. Probably the most impressive song was a great version of “Funeral for a friend” by Elton John. They also played an impressive medley of broadway music throughout the ages – in twenty minutes or so they went through more than 100 musicals from 1931 until now. Throughout their great musical performance, there was a good amount of humor both in terms of the dialogs between the songs as within the songs themselves.<\/p>\n

Overall, this show is definitely worthwile and highly recommended. It is a South African show, so not that likely to show up in other countries although this show has had performances in London and Australia.<\/p>\n
