This is “Chaplin: A Life in Concert”, a unique and very special multi-media Musical Event which dramatizes, through song, the life story of the brilliant and controversial artist, Charlie Chaplin. The show stars Multi-Platinum Award-Winning Performer/Composer, David Pomeranz, who also penned the Music and Lyrics (and co-Book with Steven David Horwich.) Pomeranz, in an unprecedented musical performance tour-de-force, brilliantly and seamlessly portrays more than 25 of the colorful characters in Charlie’s life, all from the helm of a concert Grand. In an experience that has to be seen to be believed, David stages this show in the tradition of such great performances as Chaz Palminteri in "A Bronx Tale" or the famous Broadway turns of Whoopi Goldberg and Billy Crystal. "Chaplin: A Life in Concert" opens backstage at the Academy Awards ceremony in 1971 where Chaplin is to receive an honorary Life Achievement Award. Having been falsely accused of being a Communist and banned from re-entry into the United States 20 years earlier, the 82 year old Chaplin is both bitter and afraid as to how he’ll be accepted by the crowd. He struggles with what to say to them when accepting the award. Left alone to rest, he falls asleep and remembers the events that lead him to the fateful moment. From his early childhood on the impoverished streets of London, to his creation of one of the world’s most iconic characters and Chaplin’s ultimate legacy…The Tramp, it finally becomes clear what he must do. Part Concert; part Stage Musical, “Chaplin: A Life in Concert” is an imaginative, emotional and inspiring journey that leaves the audience walking on air, humming its tunes, and in love with the artistry of the great Chaplin.
