Created and performed by David Saffert and Jillian Snow, the show has already enjoyed sell-out success across the United States, including acclaimed runs at venues such as New York’s 54 Below, Feinstein’s at the Nikko in San Francisco and The Purple Room in Palm Springs. Now, UK audiences are getting their first taste of the glittering spectacle.
Expect dazzling piano virtuosity, powerhouse vocals and a mischievous battle for the spotlight as the duo trade classic hits including Cabaret, New York, New York and Over the Rainbow, alongside unexpected contemporary twists.
Martin Heywood, Managing Director at Viva Blackpool, said the venue is thrilled to host the production, he said: “It’s the perfect cocktail of top-class quality, glamour and high-camp entertainment.
“Their antics have been going viral online and we know they’ll brighten up the Bank Holiday in Blackpool.”
Behind the sequins lies a carefully crafted tribute to two extraordinary performers. Saffert and Snow, who have spent over a decade refining their portrayals, say the show balances humour with heartfelt respect for their icons, capturing not just their music but their spirit.
With tickets in high demand, Liberace & Liza: A Tribute promises an unforgettable evening of escapism, laughter and old-school showbiz dazzle.
