Farmers Alley Theatre Presents LIBERACE HELD OVER

Farmers Alley Theatre is once again honored to collaborate with the Irving S. Gilmore Keyboard Festival to present the Michigan Premiere of this one-of-a-kind story about one of America's most unique icons - LIBERACE! Now HELD OVER DUE TO POPULAR DEMAND THRU MAY 20th at 221 Farmers Alley, we are thrilled to bring in award-winning performer David Maiocco to portray "Mr. Showmanship" himself, the one and only, Liberace.

Written by Brent Hazelton, this moving and highly entertaining tribute to a legendary performer famous for his charm, glitz and glamour, Liberace! relives the highs (and lows) of his prolific life, revealing the real person behind the persona. Interwoven with a rollicking piano score spanning classical and popular music from Chopin to "chopsticks" and Rachmaninoff to ragtime, this tour-de-force will have audiences cheering the life of a uniquely American icon.

"A glorious tribute to the uncanny performer and gifted musician." -Wisconsin Gazette
