Ted Manderfeld will entertain an audience with songs and comedy at the eighth annual Lemonade and Laughter concert, sponsored by the Sartell Senior Connection, the senior citizens’ group based in Sartell.
The show will take place at 2 p.m. Tuesday, May 10 at the St. Francis Church Gathering Place in Sartell. The cost at the door is $3. Everybody is welcome; one need not be a senior citizen to attend the show.
Manderfeld is well known as one of the “wild and crazy” guys in the musical-comedy duo “Deuces Wild Dueling Pianos.” He and fellow performer David Eicholz both play grand pianos, as well as many other instruments, in a show that combines music, comedy, dancing and lots of audience involvement.
They have performed for audiences far and wide for 14 years with songs and parodies of songs and performers that run the gamut: rock, pop, country, rap, show tunes and more.
Manderfeld is also a solo performer, as in the Lemonade and Laughter concert, during which he will sing standards from the Great American Songbook, classics that virtually everybody knows.
Ted Manderfeld camps it up as the flamboyant Elton John during one of Manderfeld’s performances as one half of the duo “Deuces Wild Dueling Pianos.” He will perform solo at the annual “Lemonade and Laughter” concert Saturday, May 14 in Sartell.
