Liam Cooper.

He’s a modern-day piano man singing the songs of famous piano men. Australian Liam Cooper intends to thrill an audience at The Opera House with a concert of famous songs. In Liam Cooper’s show King of the Keys, the entertainer will celebrate the music of Elton John, Peter Allen, Billy Joel, Stevie Wonder, Freddie Mercury, Ray Charles, and more. A killer live band will help him negotiate a nostalgic catalogue of 40 classic songs from 15 musical legends. 

Along with faithful renditions of many songs, Liam will captivate you with the stories behind them. Learn about who Paul McCartney wrote ‘Let It Be’ for, and what Elton John’s ‘Bennie & The Jets’ satirises. You’ll get a new appreciation for the songs that have become anthems for generations. 

In a final twist, the audience gets to choose how the show ends. You’ll be able to use your phone to vote live in the theatre. Decide who is the one true ‘King of the Keys’ to influence the show’s unique conclusion.
