Ground control: Bowie tribute set to land at Orillia Opera House

The Bowie Lives will be presented Sept. 24

NEWS RELEASE
THE BOWIE LIVES
*************************
It’s been over two years since The Bowie Lives sold out the Regent Theatre in Oshawa, in March 2020, and they are excited to return to touring in 2022.

They will be at the Orillia Opera House on Sept. 24 at 7:30 p.m.

“Five stars. Unbelievable,” says Richard Crouse, host of CTV Pop Life.

“By far, the best and coolest Bowie Tribute I’ve seen,” says Sam Grosso, Cadillac Productions, Toronto.

They’re talking about The Bowie Lives, Canada’s most sensational Bowie spectacular.

Michael Bell is an award-winning vocalist who channels the sound and styles of David Bowie, and with the help of an all-star band, theatre and costumes capture the imagination of fans young and old. Michael’s first theatrical production, ChangesAllBowie, toured the A circuit in the late ’80s. He hung up his “Ziggy” in the early ’90s and never imagined professionally performing Bowie again.

After David’s untimely death on Jan. 10, 2016, his calling returned, as did the industry interest. Contacting long-time musical director Michael Beauclerc, they began auditioning players to fill out a band capable of performing some of rock’s most challenging material. The Bowie Lives bring all the hits to the stage, from Space Oddity to Lazarus, and everything in between.

The Bowie Lives pre-show includes the Bowie Bazaar — collectibles bought and sold, Bowie makeup and costume props to help you get your Bowie on — photo opportunities, and more.

Come in costume dressed as your favourite David. For more information: www.thebowielives.com.

Michael is also the subject of an upcoming documentary film, Being David Bowie, slated for release in 2022.

Tickets are on sale now at the Orillia Opera House box office at 705-326-8011.
