Devilishly handsome, musically brilliant, audaciously
entertaining, Mikelangelo and the Black Sea Gentlemen embark on a national tour
throughout July to launch their new album and show 'Dead Men Tell A Thousand Tales'.
Dripping
with romance, adventure and desire, 'Dead Men Tell A Thousand Tales' is a collection
of darkly humourous, highly emotive songs and stories exploring death as a vital
and essential celebration of life.
"Riotous fun and frankly unforgettable
this is a twisted cabaret of dark delights. The Black Sea Gentlemen, a troupe
of lost souls drawn together by the indomitably depraved and unquestionably magnetic
Mikelangelo, weave a seductive spell around the audience, inviting them to explore
the shadowy recesses of the soul." ***** The List UK
With the charming,
coiffured crooner Mikelangelo at their helm, the Black Sea Gentlemen plunge headlong
into a netherworld of intrigue and imagination. Swoon to the tune of Rufino the
Catalan Casanova, thrill to the tale of The Great Muldavio, delight in Little
Ivan the song and dance man, and be chilled by Guido Libido - legend of Balkan
Western cinema. This is a deliciously macabre 'Kabaret Noir' with breathtakingly
beautiful theatrical vision, a fantastical world populated with a cast of gargoyles
and demons, angels and crows, doomed sailors and spectral gunfighters, whistling
soldiers and dancing skeletons.
"Light and dark, serious and ludicrous,
daft and sincere, are in perfect balance throughout this wonderfully theatrical
show frequently veers from one extreme to the other in a second. These are performers
at the top of their game, in complete control of their audience." * *

Mikelangelo is one of the great performers of his
time and has toured the world as a star of the Olivier Award winning production
La Clique. The Black Sea Gentlemen are his formidable musical ensemble and together
they have packed houses and enthralled audiences and critics from the Sydney Opera
House to Budapest. Following the Australian launch tour in July, the group will
embark on a UK tour throughout August and September.
