Husband And Wife Bringing "Night Of Dueling Pianos" Back To Newtown

NEWTOWN BOROUGH, PA — The historic Newtown Theatre will present “A Night of Dueling Pianos” on Friday, Oct. 14.

This one-night-only event will feature Upper Makefield husband and wife pianists Steve and Jennifer Luhmann. Their high-energy show will include sing-along classics that will have the audience clapping, singing, and partying along with the performers.

The music begins at 8 p.m. with an evening of all requests from the audience as the Bucks County pianists tickle the ivories with an evening of audience favorites.

A typical show includes standard hits from the 60s through the 90s, but don't rule out a hip hop song or two depending upon the age of the audience.

"It's really anything from Billy Joel to Lady Gaga to Queen to the Beatles, Blink-182 and hip hop. We run the gamut," said Jennifer.

To keep the show moving along, they generally don't play the entire song, but admit there are some you just can't cut.

"We do all of Bohemian Rhapsody," said Steven of Queen's operatic rock ballad. "We get the audience singing the whole thing. It's such a well written song you don't want to cut it."

The Luhmanns met in St. Louis in 2010 when they were first booked together at a local piano bar. They've been married for five years, but have a combined 32 years of experience entertaining audiences.

Tickets are available at TheNewtownTheatre.com for $25 per person or $20 for theatre members. Any remaining tickets will be sold for $35 at the door on the night of the show (if available). All seating is general admission.

Beer, wine, and canned cocktails will be available for purchase at the theatre before and during the show. The theatre is located at 120 N. State Street in Newtown Borough.
