Forever In My Life - A Tribute 2 Prince
An intimate evening of Prince songs, stories and musings with reputed fringe artist Michael Wheatley. Michael has always had a close connection with Prince's music and art, from the first single he bought in 1983, to later performing the lead role in the Australian Prince Show in the early 90s, to seeing Prince perform one of his very last shows ever in 2016. Through the music of Prince Michael explores the blurry lines between inspiration and imitation, the connection we feel we have with our idols and the grief we can feel at the loss of someone we've never even met.
★★★★★ "Highly entertaining, great value for money, Fringe talent at its best" Sam About Town.
★★★★ "This is massively entertaining - also wryly funny and more than a little bit touching" Nathan Davies, The Advertiser.
