A Master at the Keys: Jonathan Roxmouth in KEY CHANGE

South Africa’s most versatile musical theatre star is back where he belongs. Jonathan Roxmouth returns to the Pieter Toerien Main Theatre for a strictly limited season of his hit show, KEY CHANGE – My Favourite Pianists. This is more than a concert; it is a virtuoso celebration of the artists who redefined the piano, blending show-stopping vocals with Roxmouth’s signature wit and world-class pianistic flair.

The Artists Who Defined an Era

In KEY CHANGE, Roxmouth pays a personal tribute to the legends who shaped his own musical journey. Backed by a phenomenal five-piece live band, he moves effortlessly through the genres that made the keyboard iconic:

• The Rockers: The high-octane energy of Jerry Lee Lewis, Elton John, and Billy Joel.

• The Virtuosos: The flamboyant glamour of Liberace and the romantic elegance of Richard Clayderman and David Foster.

• The Songwriters: The timeless storytelling of Carole King, Burt Bacharach, and the theatrical power of Freddie Mercury.

What to Expect: An Intimate Theatrical Memoir

The Pieter Toerien Theatre provides the perfect “close-up” setting for this production. While Roxmouth has headlined the world’s largest stages—from the West End to the Philippines—this show thrives on the intimate connection between the performer, the piano, and the audience.

• Musical Precision: Expect complex arrangements that highlight why Roxmouth remains one of the country’s most respected musical directors and performers.

• Signature Humour: The show is peppered with tongue-in-cheek commentary and personal anecdotes that keep the atmosphere light and engaging.

• Sonic Depth: The live band elevates the production into a full-scale musical celebration, ensuring every “key change” hits with maximum impact.
