'A well-crafted narrative and some stunning piano playing' **** (Hugh Simpson, AllEdinburghTheatre.com). In this one hander, Richard Lewis plays the flamboyant musician whose extravagant costumes, candelabra-topped piano and habit of playing classical music "without the boring bits" helped him rise to international fame in the 1940s. As one of the the world's most successful entertainers we hear from the man himself about his beginnings in showbiz, his struggles with his sexuality and what made the world adore such an unlikely celebrity.
