Jarrett & Raja sounds like the name of an act and it is. Jarrett Parker is an illusionist and Raja Rahman is a classically trained concert pianist. The two performers have brought their talents together to produce a show that promises the class of Mr. Rahman‘s music and the spectacle of Mr. Parker‘s Las Vegas-Style Magic.
Read On . . .
I bring this duo to your attention for two reasons: 1) I was not familiar with their work before reading about them today; and 2) if you live in the Northeast, you will have a chance to see what promises to be a very original and entertaining act.
The duo is set to perform at the famous Baby Grand Theater in Wilmington, Delaware. The Baby Grand will be the perfect location to see this type of show. It is part of the Edith & Alexander Giacco center, seats about 300 and has wonderful sightlines and acoustics.
This special show runs July 13-18 at the Baby Grand and they’ll be performing matinees on Saturday and Sunday. Their presentation surrounds the battle for the spotlight “during a spectacle of stagecraft and a bevy of Vegas showgirls. What results is a battle of egos and illusions.”
Okay, so I am impressed by their upcoming appearance at one of the nicest theaters for live performance on the East Coast, their well-constructed and professional website, their novel idea for bringing together two disciplines (and Las Vegas Showgirls ? sue, me; I’m human) but also that they will be performing at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival from August 6th…

Once again, they’ve chosen a fantastic venue. They’ll be appearing in the Assembly Rooms in the heart of Edinburgh. The theater space has been called the jewel in the crown of the fringe festival.
Good luck to both of them. I look forward to reporting more about their show and their approach.
