A Handful of Keys

ABOUT

A HANDFUL OF KEYS - South Africa’s Most Successful Revue Ever. - Online for the first time! 

Why does a show play for 1500 performances, last for 25 years and sell half a million tickets? 

It is because it has that ‘rare’ entertainment magic. Exciting. Hilarious. Jaw Dropping Virtuosity. Endlessly Inventive. Always Surprising.

Two men behind two keyboards aren’t unique. Two men who can: play anything from classics to rock; sing anything from jazz to musicals and make you laugh constantly IS special. 

A brand-new partnership (the 7th duo) with the original co-creator Ian von Memerty bringing his special brand of laughter and skill, teams up with James Smith, a 22-year-old wunderkind. James’s voice is as extensive as his height (and he is 6 foot 6 inches). He is a heavy metal fan who loves the blues and has a mind as quirky as Scrat (the Squirrel from Ice Age).

Together their shared love of everything pianistic, and their many many differences - (Ian is not 6 foot 6, neither is he 22yrs old!!!) brings a new spark electrical theatre magic! 

Handful of Keys has many show stopping highlights including the History of the Broadway Musical in 12 minutes, a tour de force of inventiveness and skill. A Rock n Roll sequence as frenetic as it is funny.  Elton John’s Funeral for a Friend - which always has the audience exploding with joy. 

Surprisingly over the years this show has appealed to teenagers as much as their grandparents. Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind show. It will make you feel that you had an international holiday (travelling first class).
