On Saturday May 6th at 8:30pm, the Macareux in Paris will be hosting the first Paris performance of the Invisible Bordeaux live spin-off, the Shuman Show!
Loyal readers will be familiar with the Shuman Show, a words-and-music extravaganza that has been developed around a subject covered on the blog: Mort Shuman. The 75-minute show provides samples of the music Shuman wrote throughout his career, interspersed with a number of anecdotes that not only connect to tell the full story, but add extra layers of understanding to the songs themselves. Above all, the Shuman Show is great fun.
So, if you live in Paris or can find some way of getting there, then make sure you're at the Macareux on May 6th. Alternatively, if you have friends or acquaintances in the city, urge them to come along!
And, after a number of performances in and around Bordeaux, it is apt that Paris should be the next stop for the Shuman Show, given Mort Shuman's longstanding love affair with the city. To complete the picture, I now need to set up dates in Shuman's other "hometowns", London and New York! To be continued!...Here is everything you need to know about the Paris date:> Saturday May 6th 2017 at 8:30pm, Le Macareux, rue du Croissant, Paris 2e.> Admission: €10 on the night (free for children).
