'DEAD MEN TELL A THOUSAND TALES'

NEW SHOW AND ALBUM - OUT NOW!

Ladies and Gentlemen, the time has come for Mikelangelo and the Black Sea Gentlemen to ride again! The tides will part, and the heavens will rain as the Gentlemen descend  upon their donkeys, mules, and dancing monkeys to bring music and thrills  to the warring metropolii of Old Melbourne and Sydney town.

Mikelangelo and the Gentlemen will be steaming their best suits and dusting off songs old and new to perform at the Fairfax Room of Victorian Arts Centre on Sunday May 30, the night will be a feast of Balkan food, drink and music, with special guests the Sljivovitz Orchestra, roving Balkan Brass band Opa! in the foyer and much much more. The event begins at 7pm, tickets are $32 full price, $22 concession, bookings www.theartscentre.com.au or 1300 182 183

June will see the group arrive at the Sydney Opera House Studio for three shows on Thu 17, Fri 18, Sat 19 June to perform their critically acclaimed show DEAD MEN TELL A THOUSAND TALES. The show was a 5 star hit at the 2009 Edinburgh Festival, and was named Time Out Critic's choice for their season at London's prestigious Soho Theatre. It's been many years since the Gentlemen last played at the Studio, and the floorboards are creaking with anticipation...

“They’re divine!” ~ The Scotsman ✭✭✭✭✭

“ The energy and humour that drives the performance is highly infectious and constantly amusing, but beyond that Mikelangelo and his black-clad gents are seriously superb musicians” ~ The List ✭✭✭✭

“Their best show yet, it’s superbly staged and well worth the risk of being clambered over by a man wearing anything-for-a-dare swimming trunks” ~ The Herald ✭✭✭✭
