Dueling Pianos???

[cruisnfamily]

Does anybody ever go to this show? I've read lots of trip reports and nobody mentions it. We used to have a dueling pianos club around here but it went under. I LOVED to go! It was great entertainment even though they got really raunchy sometimes I'm sure it doesn't get like that on the Disney Boat.

Anyhow, has anybody seen this show on the Wonder? Is it any good? Are the family show and the adult show much different from each other?

Thanks for the feedback!

It was excellent! Can't wait to check out the Magic's next week!

I went to it on the magic. It was a decent show! I have heard all good things about it. I think we needed a bigger crowd the night I was there. They play the Piano "fantastic".

Last year I caught the Dueling Pianos show on the Magic several times, the early show and late show. They change the show slightly for the adult crowd in the evening. The male/female performers were well versed in hundreds of songs, and even had a book to look at when someone threw a tough one at them. It was a great time. The tropical drinks in hand made it even better!!

On our cruise the early show with the dueling pianos was a family show. They put the kids on the stage and sang the Chicken Dance, Head-N-Shoulders-Knees & Toes, etc. I thought it was great. The later show was more adult oriented.

On the 3/23/02 Disney Magic cruise, Dino & Greg from London -- "the British Boogie Boys" -- put on highly entertaining dueling pianos shows in the Off Beat Club. Their audience interaction was lots of fun, and their musical skills were terrific. We went to two of their adult shows and one of their family shows.

I see that the Navigators from the 5/11/02 Disney Magic cruise ( http://www.dcltribute.com/navigators/west_carib/ ) now show "Fidelio & Carl" as the dueling pianos performers in the Off Beat Club.

I wonder Fidelio & Carl are as good as Dino & Greg?

I havent seen the show, but Im looking forward to it on my upcoming cruise. It sounds like a lot of fun. Thanks for all the info everyone!

Have not been on the cruise yet, but for anyone who loves dueling pianos, do not miss Jelly Rolls at the Boardwalk! Adults only though, but never raunchy. They usually have two sets of players, so there is never a break, they just keep going and going.....

We went once on the 11 May Magic. It was Fidelio and Carl. They were good piano players. They did have the kids do wheels on the bus and a couple of other things. It was a pretty small crowd, and no one truly got into it. I didn't think it was good enough to go back. We enjoyed the Rockin Bar D shows a WHOLE LOT more.

Just back fromt the 5-16 cruise and seen the show! It was a blast. They were quite enjoyable...and the more the audience participates, the better the show!

Saw it on the Wonder, great Family show. It is dependant on the crowd and the more the crowd got into it the more the performers went at it... Sorry did not see the adult portion... If you are going on the Wonder, don't miss it!!!

We went to the show on the Wonder in April. We did the family show, it was good and involved the kids in the songs. The show lasts only about an hour and then we went to Disney Dreams in the theater. It is a good thing to do after dinner.
If you are a fan of dueling piano shows, you must go to JellyRolls at the Boardwalk. A great time!!

We went to this almost each night of our 4 day honeymoon cruise last June. LOVED IT. We threw the request for "White Wedding" up there and they didnt' know it, but you couldn't tell that when they played it. We laughed the whole time, and are planning to return in a few weeks on the 6/6 Wonder cruise.

Try to go! You'll love it!

im sorry, but what exactly is a dueling pianos show??

 

[KeenHo]

Two entertainers sit at opposing pianos playing various routine and requested songs. They ask for and get audience participation, dancing, etc. It is a great show, the performers are top notch and it is an enjoyable way to unwind. There is beverage service there too (wink*). It is a must see....

Two singer/ players face each other across two pianos. Folks request songs (for tips) to see if either player can remember words/tunes. Each pair often has a routine of songs that nearly always get requested, then they harmonize and play four hands. Add a whole lot of banter, bad jokes and stupid dance routines for the audience and there you have it.

We sailed on the 4 day wonder 9/30 of last year. We had Jeff and Julie doing dueling piano's. They were great. We went to see them 3 times! So much fun!

And the jokes we heard about Disney and non Disney tunes and movies ... the kids enjoyed the show

You know you have the cruising bug when throughout the year, you keep a list of songs you think will be nice to hear at Dueling Piano's for your next cruise. My favorite song for our upcoming January cruise will be:

"A Thousand Miles", by Vanessa Carlton

I think they can do a nice job with that song. I just hope they have a female vocal. One of each is always nice.
