Liam Cooper's Kings of the Keys
Presented by Civic Theatre
Celebrating the Music of Legends
Join piano-man Liam Cooper for Kings of the Keys, a thrilling musical spectacular featuring the songs of Billy Joel, Elton John, Peter Allen, Stevie Wonder, Marc Cohn, Bruce Hornsby, Ray Charles, Freddie Mercury, Paul McCartney and more.
This must-see family show celebrates piano rock and roll royalty in a 2-hour concert event featuring 40 classic songs backed by a killer live band with a horn section that'll blow your socks off!
Known for his vibrant energy and passionate storytelling, Liam explores the inspiration behind your favourite songs and shares heartfelt (and hilarious!) stories about his journey growing up as a young piano player.
Paul McCartney wrote Let It Be after his mother, Mary, visited him in a dream. Elton John's Bennie & The Jets was a satire on the 1970s music industry. The ‘waitress practising politics' in Billy Joel's Piano Man was his first wife Elizabeth Weber. It's stories like these that give you a new appreciation of your all-time favourite songs.
Liam Cooper has travelled the world as a featured guest entertainer on cruise ships and his cover videos have millions of views online. He doesn't impersonate the artists, but delivers faithful reproductions of their classic songs. His energy is infectious and the quality of his performances is exceptional.
