Starman
a show with the music of David Bowie
Sven Ratzke & Band
Cabaret superstar and international entertainer extraordinaire Sven Ratzke, returns with his hit show of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2016: Starman – Sven’s brilliant bold homage to David Bowie.
“Critic’s Pick” TIME OUT NEW YORK“Sven Ratzke is a must-see!” NEW YORK PRESS
‘Starman’ combines many of the artist’s famous numbers such as “Space Oddity,” “Rebel Rebel,” “Heroes,” and “Rock and Roll Suicide” with classic album tracks, and inspired original songs by Ratzke and Rachelle Garniez. Much more than a mere tribute show, Starman is a one-man rock musical with unique characters and bold reinventions of glam rock classics.
In this international hit show, Sven and his brilliant three-piece band, take audiences on a trip to where facts and fantasy melt into mystery, through storytelling, beautiful ballads, a starburst of cabaret and a crazy bit of rock n’ roll.
“Unique, bizarre, ultra-extravagant in style and flavour, supremely talented and bitingly hilarious” AUSTRALIAN ADVERTISER

★★★★★The Stage
Surreal, funny and musically sublime, Starman introduces cabaret to rock and lets rip utterly gloriously.
★★★★★The Advertiser Australia
This Dutch-German cabaret artist transcends all conventional preconceptions of a David Bowie tribute show to prove himself as a masterful interpreter of both the late rock chameleon’s catalogue and his shapeshifting charisma.
