CONCERT REVIEW
Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox
Isaac eatre Royal, Christchurch. Sunday 1st October 2017
Music Directors: Adam Kubota & Logan Evan omas.
MC: LaVance Colley
Reviewed by Christine Hainstock
WHAT is there not to like about
Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern
Jukebox? Absolutely nothing!
With eleven performers all top
of their game, the full house was
truly treated with a full on two
hour non-stop show.
Von Smith set the scene with
“Call Me Maybe” 1920’s trad with
Sarah Reisch sporting red
sequins in her tap entree then
Sara Niemietz’ rendition of “I Will
Survive” certainly reinforced that
with fast swing into tango with
Nick Finter (trombone) and a
brilliant clarinet solo from Chloe
Feoranzo.
Hannah Gill was the newbie
and youngest member of PMJ
but it certainly didn’t show. In a
1940’s Big Band swing version of
“Somebody I Used to Know” her
voice could be likened to a good
strong cup of coffee.
Mother star ship of singers,
Maiya Sykes, a gospel voice from
heaven, paid homage to Sam
Smith with “I’m Not the Only
One” going from vintage New
Orleans into funk groove then
Dirty Dozen brass band and jazz
scat cadenza.
Drummer, Dave Tedeschi and
Sarah Reich, Tapper embarked on
percussion rivalry with Dave
crouching on the floor and Sarah,
not to be out-beaten, tapping one
foot on the floor and the other on
a tambourine “Evolution of Tap
Dance” covering everything from
Sweet Georgia Brown to Wave to
Superstition - her fabulous one
shouldered black and gold
striped sequined jumpsuit
befitting the occasion.
MC LaVance Colley
demonstrated he was much more
than an MC with his Rat Pack
style singing of Bruno Mars’
“at’s What I Like” moving into
double time swing. When
LaVance sang “Halo” he looked
simply angelic in a pewter lame
jacket and with a delicate piano
intro by Logan Evan omas and
bowed bass from Adam Kubota,
the result was a standing ovation
and well deserved.
“All About at Bass” just had
to happen and was great. Maiya
shared her hip flask with Adam
and Logan before stowing it in
her accommodating cleavage. e
band and all singers were out
front for this with the Bass
featured, of course.
e final number was to be
“Shake it Off ” 1950 shoo wop
which had the entire audience on
their feet dancing and clapping
but there was no way PMJ would
be allowed to leave without an
encore! is resulted in the cast
singing the 1970 Jackson Five
style cover of “Such Great
Heights” by e Postal Service,
followed by the obligatory selfie
of the cast with their adoring
audience behind.
