Amy Winehouse, the Diva & her Demons

Description

Theatre on the Square proudly presents: Amy Winehouse, the Diva & her Demons Following a successful season at Theatre on The Square in January, Amy Winehouse, the Diva & her Demons is back for the festive season! Just 27 years old. Just 2 albums. Nominated for 60 awards. The music behind the mayhem is unstoppable. Rebellious, adamant, gifted, Amy Winehouse was - first and foremost - a jazz singer. This often gets lost within the scope of her enormous pop stardom, her tempestuous love life and substance-abuse problems. If we really want to understand how Amy Winehouse died, we need to look at how she lived... "Amy Winehouse – The Diva and her Demons" unpacks the brief and impactful life of this once-in-a-generation talent who captured the imagination of both the mainstream pop chart and lovers of the timeless soul music of yesteryear. The award-winning cautionary tale/tribute show features 15 of Amy’s hits acoustically interpreted for a live trio. With Kerry Hiles (bass), Roscoe Nefdt (guitar) and Kristo Zondagh (drums). Please note: explicit language warning. Run-time approx 80 minutes "Interspersed with nuggets of factual information about Winehouse’s difficult life and her struggles with alcohol, drugs and an eating disorder...Hiles must be commended for bringing Winehouse’s voice back to stage" - DEVON KOEN, HeraldLive "...a lively celebration...Hiles brilliantly changes between accents throughout the performance, making it feel as though it was indeed Winehouse reincarnated on stage." - Anoka Latchmiah, Grocott's Mail
