The Life and Music of George Michael is an innovative concert-style performance that traces the career of George Michael via his music, from his days with Wham! to his successful career as a solo artist.
During a career that spanned nearly 40 years, Michael sold between 100 and 125 million records, making him one of the best-selling musicians ever. In 1987, he launched his solo career with “Faith,” a mammoth hit album that included “Monkey,” “One More Try,” “Father Figure,” and “Faith,” all of which were No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. “Faith” won the award for “Album of the Year” at the Grammy Award in 1989. Over his career, Michael won four MTV Video Music Awards, three American Music Awards, three Brit Awards, and two Grammys.
The Life and Music of George Michael features two vocalists, Rory Phelan and Craig Winberry. Phelan has appeared in productions of “Saturday Night Fever,” “Grease,” and “Mamma Mia.” Winberry is a New York actor who has appeared in “Shooting Star” and “Christmas Spirits: Neat Edition.” Reviews of the show say:
“Everything about this show is amazing from the singing to the costumes to the dancing. A great trip down memory lane.”
The Life and Music of George Michael show is set for February 3 at the Curran Theater in San Francisco. When shows like this are scheduled, organizers will frequently promote them using poster printing.
