Ian von Memerty, ‘the king of versatility’ is joined by his wife of 25 years, Vivienne, “the queen of dance”, as they explore partnerships.
Why do partnerships become bigger than the people involved?
The glamour of the Gershwin Brothers (I Got Rhythm, Summertime, Embraceable You).
The effervescent joy of the Sherman Brothers (Mary Poppins, The Jungle Book, The Aristocrats).
The showbusiness sizzle of Kander and Ebb (Chicago, Cabaret, New York, New York)
The musical magic of Lennon and McCartney (Yesterday, Hey Jude, Oh-Bloodee-Oh Bloodah).
The sophisticated drama of Desiree and Frederick in A Little Night Music (Send In the Clowns, You Must Meet My Wife)
The laughter filled poignancy of Tevye and Golde in Fiddler On the Roof (Sunrise, Sunset ; Do You Love Me? If I Were A Rich Man).
With fabulous costumes from around the globe, beautiful musical arrangements for orchestra by Debbie Quicke, moody lighting by David Limbert, and Roelof Colyn ‘the best set of fingers in the business’ on keyboards, this is elegant, exciting entertainment in its purest form.
Together they take 26 years of life’s struggles and creative partnership and bring fresh insight into the SYERNGY that ignites when two people work as one.
