Tribute show to George Michael with Steve Mitchell singing Wham! hits, alongside ex-Wham! bassist Dave West, in its third year.
Steve Mitchell brings Choose George – Celebrating George Michael to The White Rock Theatre on Saturday 28 November, the show now in its third year. It's a tribute to George Michael's music, taking you from the early Wham! hits through to his later songs, with Mitchell on vocals.
There's a proper connection to the original material here. Joining Mitchell on stage is Dave West, the former Wham! bassist who worked with George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley on the first sessions for Wham Rap!, Careless Whisper and Club Tropicana. West doesn't just play; he shares memories of those early recordings and an exclusive interview, so the night is as much about the stories behind the songs as it is about the music itself.
Mitchell's voice is the focus, and he's got a bit of a reputation for it. Shirley Lewis, George Michael's long-time backing vocalist, has described his sound as having a similar timbre to George's, and she's someone who knew the voice from the inside. Between Mitchell's set and West's recollections, the show covers the arc from the pop of the early eighties to the more mature work that followed.
