Rob Lamberti recreates the voice of George Michael in a tribute show covering his career from Wham! to his solo hits.
Rob Lamberti brings Perfectly George to the Sunderland Empire on Friday 14 May 2027, a tribute to the life, music and legacy of George Michael. Lamberti describes it as an authentic recreation of Michael's voice and sound, and the set follows his four-decade career from the early days of Wham! through to his international solo success. You'll hear the songs that defined both eras: 'Wake Me Up Before You Go Go' and 'Club Tropicana' from the Wham! years, alongside solo hits like 'Freedom', 'Faith', 'Careless Whisper', 'Father Figure' and 'I'm Your Man'.
Beyond the music, the show looks at Michael as a boundary-breaking artist who held onto his artistic integrity while becoming one of the biggest stars in the world. It also touches on the side of him that came to light after his death in 2016: the prolific philanthropist who donated millions to charitable causes, often in secret. Perfectly George has played to audiences across the country and Europe, and it's now making its way to the Empire.
