Comedy and music brilliantly combined
Come along to Oakengates Theatre @ The Place this October to experience a completely unique evening of comedy and music with The Unique Komedy Ukulele Orchestra.
Is it possible for anyone to create a show that brilliantly combines music from Mozart to Monty Python, Bach to the Beatles, Chick Corea to Rossini?
The answer in the case of The Unique Komedy Ukulele Orchestra is a resounding “YES!”, especially as their motto is “musical borders belong to yesterday”.
After three hugely successful European tours in 2011, 2012 and 2013 they are coming back.
Hawaiian garlands dangle from the microphone stands. Behind them is and eight-piece orchestra. The men are wearing suits with bow ties and the women are wearing black evening dresses. Each has a ukulele on their lap.
The unusual Ukulele Orchestra wows the public with its quirky show. In the repertoire are contrasting pieces from classical to rock, from oldies to current hits and even from long-forgotten treasures to those pieces one prefers to forget. All put together with very British homour and some surprising interjections.
If the mix of comedy and an orchestra of ukuleles sounds intriguing then get those tickets booked and find out what many people already know; that the combination works and the music and comedy makes for a very entertaining and enjoyable show.
Tickets to this amzing show at 7.30pm on Wednesday 5 October cost £20 each (£20 concessions and £19 TLC) and can be booked online at www.theplacetelford.com by calling the box office on 01952 382382, or in person at the theatre or Southwater One in Telford Town Centre.
