What are dueling pianos?
From the show’s promoter:
“It is a massive ‘to the top of your lungs’ sing along with all your friends! Two grand pianos are center-stage with a team of outrageously talented pianists who seem to know every song ever written. “Each show is different because it’s all request and you or your friends might even get called up on stage for a bit of good-humored fun and some unforgettable u-tube moments.Think YOU won’t sing along? Just TRY not to, I dare ya!” – Bill Connors.
Dueling piano shows are request-oriented, interactive sing-a-long shows wherein two piano players sit across from each other and trade songs. The dueling piano audience is used for the dueling aspect of the show. Audience members are pitted one-side-against-the-other. Examples of rivalries include country vs. rock, men against women, etc. Dueling piano shows are typically 60 to 120 minutes in duration, maximizing the players’ energy and audience interaction.
This dueling piano interactive concept has grown rapidly the past few years and shows no sign of letting-up. Why? One very simple reason: people love to interact and have fun.
The show’s focal point is a pair of pianos on stage. The piano players act as “ring masters.” Known as the entertainment directors, they’re responsible for maintaining enthusiasm and maximizing laughs. Hand-picked from only the finest regional talent, they’re experts on keeping audience members involved, happy and content.
Dueling piano shows often take unexpected turns. Tangents may include involving wait staff members, changing song lyrics or roasting popular audience members.
And who typically enjoys dueling pianos? There are no boundaries. Dueling pianos appeal to all ages, creeds and colors. Dueling piano shows are the perfect entertainment for events ranging from birthdays to wedding receptions, anniversaries, conventions and bachelor/bachelorette parties.
Everyone is drawn together by the camaraderie and nostalgia to form one large, synergistic party, swaying to the music and bellowing out familiar lyrics. This concept bases itself on the simple fact that everyone wants to have a good time. The dueling piano experience is not only incredible fun, but also very unique. Guests aren’t just entertained by the piano players: they become part of the show!
Typically these shows are PG-13. This includes innuendos, puns, safe jokes and language.
