Bobby Crush as Liberace The world's most flamboyant entertainer will be brought back to life on stages across New Zealand in the show Liberace, Live From Heaven. Gay British entertainer Bobby Crush stars in the one-man tribute show, which is an imagining of Liberace's impact on Heaven following his death. Billed as 'hysterically high camp', the performance opens with Liberace arriving at the gates of Heaven. God tells him that he needs to play a little Gershwin before the angels decide if he gets in or not. For many years, Liberace was the highest paid entertainer in the world. Despite ceaseless claims and rumours to the contrary, he denied he was gay right through until his death from AIDS-related complications in 1987. Liberace, Live from Heaven, opens in Kerikeri on Friday before travelling across the country through till mid-August. For full show dates click here
