In all the months I have
been on this ship, I have seen 4, perhaps 5 shows. One of them was completely against my will to
see a magician/ comedian who was neither amusing nor interesting. However, I have seen 3 musical acts which
were excellent – the best by far is Elio Pace.
He sang, played the piano,
including Billy Joel’s ROOTBEER RAG, a very fast and extremely difficult piece,
explained the songs he sang starting with Clyde McPhatter’s FOOLS FALL IN LOVE. Elio is the consummate entertainer who
carried us along for 45+ minutes on a wave of positive energy culminating in a
spontaneous standing ovation at the end of each of his performances.
If you know the Terry
Wogan show (unfortunately I do not), you will know Elio – he was music
director, band leader, singer, pianist, arranger and, and and.
He would be perfect on a
permanent or semi-permanent basis (the trans-Atlantic voyages, perhaps
??). Are you listening, Entertainment
Department??
