Our dueling piano show is a high-energy, audience-driven experience - you're not just watching, you're part of the show. Two live pianists take requests straight from the crowd (write it on a slip or send it with a tip) and go back and forth performing whatever gets called out. Expect plenty of singing, dancing, and crowd banter, plus the occasional friend getting pulled on stage for some good-natured ribbing. Shows run Thursday thru Saturday nights, and since seating fills up quickly, we recommend reserving a table ahead of time for the best view.
