STARMAN

Ground Control to Major Sven, take your protein pills again. Check ignition and lift off: we’ll be with you! Yes, it was Bowie himself who in 2015 gave Sven Ratzke permission to use his brilliant body of work – from Space Oddity and Rebel Rebel to Heroes and Blackstar – for a concert.

Ratzke, the wizkid of the theatre, developed Starman, a chameleonic alter ego that does Bowie justice from Aladdin to Ziggy. His Bowie interpretations form a convincing ode to the man who fell to earth to toy with identities and write pop cultural history. Unique, theatrical, cinematic, dressed in glamorous outfits and doing outrageous improvisations.

After New York and Berlin the Starman plus his band are now coming to Boulevard – where Ratzke’s Homme Fatale sold out every night last year.

Daily Mail: “Bravo! This is a must see show! Ratzke is a five star guy.” *****
