All the greatest hits are included, along with songs from the latest five decades of the man in black's career. All this accompanied by emotive and evocative screen images.
The following night the Everyman introduces Stewart D'Arrietta and his band who bring Leonard Cohen's raw and distinctive style to life in My Leonard Cohen. This stirring celebration offers arresting and imaginative interpretations of the great singer-songwriter's most powerful works.
Poetic anecdotes, punctuated with D'Arrietta's trademark laconic humour, offer a narrative frame by which the audience can contemplate the life of one of the world's most enigmatic songwriters.
The beat changes on Wednesday, June 27, with Material Girl: A Tribute To Madonna. Incredible vocals, amazing dancers, video footage and narration take the audience on a journey through the scandals, the controversy and, of course, the music of the Queen of Pop.
