Fantastic 50 at the Theatre on the Bay is Ian and Viv Von Memerty’s golden theatrical anniversary of laughter, love, glamour and humanity featuring fabulous costumes, dynamic dancing, magical music and pianist pow!
As they both celebrate turning FANTASTIC 50 they share for the first time, the story of how they overcame the huge challenge of two of their children’s fatal genetic illnesses, conquering the statistics, celebrating life and continuing to hone their combined skills ‘til “we are now working on a level we have never worked before”.
MapMyWay agrees with the advance PR : “An uplifting story of triumph over tragedy, their 25-year partnership is brought to enthralling theatrical life where the bling of the ballroom meets irreverent joie de vivre.
“Ian’s skill with the hugely successful ‘A Handful of Key’s, and his experience as the presenter of ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ and the judge on ‘SA’s Got Talent’ have shaped a show that is as enthralling as it is entertaining, and as inspirational as it is invigorating.”
There’s a bit of Ballroom and a lot of Latin; some Cha Cha and a touch of Tango; a pinch of Pata Pata and whole lot of music. Some lunges and a high kick or two, all to wonderful songs like Summertime, IpiNtombi, New York New York, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, Fly With Me, La Robe Mystique, Second Time Around, and the title song from IAN’s new CD, “U R Fantastic’. And all with an inimitable von Memerty twist!
“Two true theatrical talents at the peak of their powers,” agrees MapMyWay, and the opening night audience loved it too. We advise GO!
