WARNING! This show could seriously affect your health

Dec. 12, 2011 - PRLog -- A new show that is touring the country as it heads to London in 2012 has had to issue a health warning to theatres and audiences. The number of incidents of audience members passing out, becoming breathless and even suffering mild seizures has so alarmed the promoters of The Jerry Lee Lewis Story that they have had to stamp a health warning onto it and insist that all theatres booking the show have a full St John’s Ambulance team on hand.
The performance of  Peter Gill (Let The Good Times Roll, Golden Age of Musical Satire, Talbot House – a home from home, An Evening with the humour of Bob Newhart & Tom Lehrer) as Jerry Lee Lewis has been described as ‘SIMPLY PHENOMENAL’ and has even been endorsed by Jerry Lee Lewis’ own son.
Alison Kennedy from Gloucestershire said “When he jumped off the piano I was sure I was going to faint! All around me people were becoming over-excited, one poor man had to be taken away by ambulance. It was a pure adrenalin rush from beginning to end”
Jerry Lee, who is now in his 70s and is the recognised ‘Last Man Standing’ of rock n roll’s original greats has held the nickname of ‘Killer’ for most of his life. Originally this show held the title ‘Killer – The Jerry Lee Lewis Story’, now however, the promoters are so concerned that they have decided to drop the nickname just in case it proves to be prophetic.
When asked how he felt about the health concerns and whether he should tame down his performance, Peter answered “Jerry Lee Lewis, in his heyday, was the most exciting performer of all time. What I do is the best that I am able to recreate his dynamism. If people get overcome by me standing on my stool to play the piano, jumping around a bit and leaping off the piano then I can’t help it. It just proves that there is not enough excitement in today’s music world. Besides, every night it is my blood that ends up being spattered over the piano keyboard!”
It was over 40 years ago that Jerry Lee first made headlines with hits such as ‘Great Balls of Fire’, ‘Breathless’, ‘High School Confidential’, ‘Wild One’  and ‘Whole Lotta Shakin’ – at the time it was called ‘The Devil’s Music’ and people were warned that by listening to him their souls would go to hell. Today, The Jerry Lee Lewis Story holds no such warning for your afterlife ........ but if you have a weak heart, are prone to fainting, pregnant or suffer from asthma then the promoters are strongly requesting that you seek medical advice before you buy your ticket!
