Post Modern Jukebox

Laura and I loved our night with Post Modern Jukebox at the Vogue Theatre Vancouver.  Their Utube performances give a good hint at what one gets in personal. Tremendous music and great ideas. The really joy is in the live performance. It’s almost vaudeville.
The most incredible tap dancer I’ve ever seen was hoofing it through most of the show. They could never appear in Cape Breton Island, Maritimes,  without her being kidnapped.
The saxophonist was so mellow and cool.  Where do you get a trombone and banjo on the same stage. Fabulous music. I loved the hot piano and funky guitar.
The voices were to die for. I love the original voice. She is so original.  She could sing and catch pop corn as well.  The fantastic torch singer was a  heart throb. The MC was everything one could want in a singer and a performer.  Funny, engaging, a true character.   It reminded me of Cabaret and the best of Vegas.
The costumes period and punk  added to the show. The audience joined in.  For future reference one dresses in period for PMJ shows.  Lots of can can and 1920 to 1929 paneche.  Rocky Horror Picture Show and Blue Man Group for the jazz set.  I loved the sparkles.
Then there was the Tom Jones Engelbirt Humperdinck Frank Sinatra voice. What a voice. The whole show though reminded us of a 1920 Carole King New York musical. We were transported into another world for a night. Speakeasy and ‘all about the bass!”  Thank you PMJ.
