Part Waiting for Godot, part choose your own adventure, part democracy and part dictatorship, The Colors Interactive Comeback Show is absolute musical mayhem.
New York’s proto-seminal band The Colors is sparking a musical revolution. Since their inception in 1958, the band has slipped into obscurity, but their music continues to be sampled, remixed and ripped off across all genres.
Now, for the first time in the band’s history, they are coming Down Under to do what they do best: play live and hard.
Their first Australian tour is a momentous occasion for fans who have waited decades to experience the legendary live sets, the energy, the spontaneity and the power of The Colors.
Incorporating live video, musical improvisation and mystery guests, The Colors Interactive Comeback Show charts the band’s history from punk to reggae, Bollywood, funk and ragtime. No musical stone will be left unturned.
The brainchild of Alon Ilsar (Keating! The Musical, Circus Monoxide, Gauche), The Colors Interactive Comeback Show thrives on intrigue, showcasing the immense skill of the show’s musicians and emcee.
It is bold, playful and anarchic – just like all good theatre should be.
Come, embrace the myth of The Colors.
