Directed by TOM FREY
Piano wizardry and laugh-out-loud comedy come together to tell the story of Richard and Ted’s life-long pursuit of becoming concert pianist superstars. They work tirelessly to master legendary music from Beethoven and Bach to Billy Joel, enduring endless practice, stage fright and agonizing competition along the way. Two performers tickle the ivories (and your funny bone) while portraying dozens of characters like their naïve childhood selves, the eccentric piano teachers who guide them and the demanding parents who push them. Laughter and music abound in this riotous show about Richard and Ted’s humbling quest for musical greatness. Performed in-the-round!

“A breathtaking evening of music and acting ... audiences will deem them the best performers to be seen on Cincinnati stages this holiday season.” — CityBeat

“Talented pianists and performers with great comic timing.” — Behind the Curtain Cincinnati

Advisory: 2 Pianos, 4 Hands is suitable for audiences ages 12 and up. Richard and Ted’s passionate quest for musical stardom includes mild adult language and other mature themes, which are often addressed through the characters’ angsty, teenage versions of themselves. A strobe light is also used.

Running Time: The show runs 2 hours and 20 minutes, including one intermission.
