Victor Borge
V ictor Borge, the piano prince o f
com edy, performs his one-man show at
Arlene SchnitzerC onccrt Hall at 8 p.m.
Thursday, Nov. 12.
If you haven’t seen Victor Borge
for awhile, you’re in for a wonderful
treat: H e’s funnier than ever-if that’s
humanly possible. Borge always m an­
ages to please audiences and send them
into the streets holding their sides while
recounting his lovably outlandish sto­
ries.
But Victor Borge is more than a
keyboard comic. He is an acclaim ed
musician with the rare ability to laugh
at the music he worships, at life and
easily above all, at himself.
It’s his unique gift-making fun and
music-that has made him an interna­
tional star with the same box office
magnetism o f rock and pop artists.
Borge has brought new audiences to
the concert hall by making them feel
comfortable with classical music. His
strong following with the young has
also won a new fans to the beauty o f the
music.
C om edy may w ell be V ictor
B orge’s claim to fame, but he is an
accom plished pianist, utilizing a key­
board talent that ably supports his an ­
tics. He has recorded an audio cassette
called “T he T w o Sides o f V ictor
Borge,” one side for com edy, the other
for serious piano interpretations.
Tickets are $18, $23 and $28.50,
available at the PCPA box office, 1111
SW B roadw ay, and at G .l. J o e ’s
Ticketm aster outlets. Prices include
user fees and are subject to service

tribute is in support o f her fourth re­
lease, “Love Deluxe”, her first collec­
tion o f new songs since “Stronger
Than Pride”, released in 1988.
The first single released from
“Love D eluxe” is the ballad, “ No O r­

simmering soul classic was shot in Los
Angeles by award-winning director

VH-1 plans to spotlight Sade in

Sadc’s career took off i 1984 with
the release of her first album, “D ia­
mond Life”, which spawned the U.K./
Europe top ten single “ Your Love Is
King”. “ Diamond L ife” clinched a
Grammy Award for Sade as best New
Artist, and it remains the all-tim e best­
selling debut album by a British fe­
male singer. By December o f 1985,
Sade’s second release, “Promise” , was
at the top o f the U.S. charts and “Sweet­
est Taboo” was in the Top 5. “Stronger
Than Pride”, which inc luded the dance
h it“Paradise”, was the first album that
was produced and arranged entirely
by Sade and her band. It was in 1988
that Sade first embarked upon a full-
scale arena tour o f North America.
