The Official Blues Brothers Revue duo are sanctioned by Dan Aykroyd and Judith Belushi to don the official hat and sunglasses and walk in the legendary footsteps of Jake and Elwood Blues. Discovered in Las Vegas, performers Wayne Catania and Kieron Lafferty capture the infectious humor and unbridled spirit of the Blues Brothers like no one since John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd walked the stage. Backed by a powerhouse band, they’ll give you a show to remember, packed with classic hits from the Blues Brothers catalog, including Soul Man,Rubber Biscuit, Sweet Home Chicago, and more. Look forward to a night of laughter, dancing, and foot-stompin’ fun,
For anyone who ever missed a chance to see John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd as the Blues Brothers, “The Official Blues Brothers Revue” has more than enough of the star duo’s charisma, mock-straight buttondown humor and great music to do the trick.
Dan Aykroyd and Judy Belushi-Pisano hand-picked Catania and Lafferty for “The Official’ revue (so named because it’s the only Blues Brothers show sanctioned by Aykroyd, Belushi-Pisano and Paul Shaffer, Aykroyd and Belushi’s original musical director). Not only are both outstanding musicians; their speaking and singing voices, looks and body language mirror Aykroyd and Belushi as alter egos Elwood and Jake Blues. Lesser performers might be tempted to allow their characterizations to veer into parody – but not Catania and Lafferty, baby. Written by Aykroyd, co-written and directed by Belushi-Pisano, Catania and Lafferty, and music-directed by Shaffer, the “Revue” is a concert-format show. As with any rock concert, the whole idea is for everyone in the theater – performers and audience alike – to cut loose and have fun. “Fun” seriously understates the show’s raucous, rollicking feel, and in case you thought attendees would be casual observers, think again – Jake and Elwood invite us to sing along to many of the 22 musical numbers.
