Unforgettable journey of pure nostalgia
Gone Too Soon is a great tribute to the music legends we all love, who died way before their time, but live on through their timeless music.
The show is expected to delight audiences – old and young – as they celebrate the powerhouse singers that became legends through their music over the years.
Be transported on an unforgettable journey of nostalgia and heartwarming moments as homage is paid to a diverse selection of some of the greats, including Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Freddie Mercury, Luther Vandross, Nat King Cole, George Michael, Elvis Presley, David Bowie, Prince, Amy Winehouse, Natalie Cole, John Lennon and more.
Local artists will also be featured, including Brenda Fassie and Mandoza.
Three of South Africa’s most talented vocalists, Timothy Moloi (Fifa 2010 World Cup opening ceremony, Always & Forever – A Tribute to Luther Vandross, Great South African Bake Off Celebrity Festive Special, Classics is Groot); Joseph Clark (Joseph Clark – The Music of Queen, Classics is Groot, Queen At The Opera, Buddy Holly – The Buddy Holly Story); and Mariechan Luiters (of Jamali, and Popstars fame) will set the stage alight as they perform the instantly recognisable hits.
An exciting collaboration is the inclusion of the superb Johannesburg Youth Orchestra conducted by Eddie Clayton, celebrating their 20th anniversary, who join the vocalists on stage to evoke over two hours of unforgettable memories.
Two shows at The Lyric Theatre, Gold Reef City in Johannesburg, are only on October 20 and 21.
