Bowie Unzipped
Put on your red shoes and dance the blues.
Overview
Following in David Bowie's footsteps is all part of a day's work for Jeff Duff. In fact, he's been doing it for years — first in his smash-hit show Ziggy, and then in his follow-up Bowie Unzipped.
It's the latter that thrusts the performer into the spotlight once again, with Duff returning to Brisbane for a one-off encore of the tribute show that's all that and so much more. Channelling the thin white duke has taken on a mournful tone this year, of course; however if anyone can do the difficult task justice, it's the man who has also played Andy Warhol and even popped up in The Great Gatsby.
As Bowie's '80s toe-tapper 'Let's Dance' implores, Duff will put on his red shoes and dance the blues, and belt out stunning interpretations of the inimitable artist's classic tracks as well. Hear everything from 'Life on Mars' to 'Fame' echo throughout the Judith Wright Centre, and try to remember that you're not watching the real thing. Yep, Duff's take on the music icon really is that convincing — and magical.
