2 Pianos 4 Hands

A Tickle the Ivories Musical Comedy

By TED DYKSTRA AND RICKARD GREENBLATT

Directed by RICHARD GREENBLATT

Starring PATRICK BURWELL & JONATHAN MONRO

2 Pianos 4 Hands is the riotous tale of two Canadian boys, Ted and Richard, who share the same unorthodox goal: concert pianist stardom.

Inspired equally by the wizardry of classical pianists like Bach and Beethoven, to rock 'n roll legends like Jerry Lee Lewis, the two determined upstarts stubbornly forge ahead with their dream - despite the seemingly insurmountable stumbling blocks of pushy parents, eccentric teachers, hours of repetitive practice, stage fright, and the crushing pressure of competition.

As their noble quest unfolds over the next 15 years, our two heroes slowly mature and become aware of the gap between the good and the very good. True greatness, it seems, may in fact be out of reach for the ordinary man. 2 Pianos 4 Hands captures the indefatigable embodiment of the human spirit with a warmth, wit, and wisdom that will tickle your ivories and leave you uplifted.
