Harmony Artists today announced it has partnered with Entertainers, recently featured in Pollstar as a top-40 global promoter, to debut the world's leading George Michael tribute show in North America this fall; the tour will visit additional cities in spring 2020. Fastlove comes direct from the West End following more than 130 U.K dates and has grown to be a smash-hit success internationally, recently thrilling sell-out audiences in Australia and throughout Europe. North American tour dates will be announced at a later date (www.fastlovetour.com).
"We are thrilled to bring Fastlove to audiences in North America," says James Taylor, Entertainers' company director, who created the tribute show for the late artist. "Fastlove has quickly set itself apart because the George Michael fans responded around the world." Taylor and Entertainers were recently covered in a lengthy Pollstar feature article covering the company's rapid global growth and one-of-a-kind tribute shows.
"Entertainers is the leader in tribute shows around the world," says Adrienne Crane-Ross, Vice President of Harmony Artists. "We are excited to partner with them and bring this show to venues across North America."
Fastlove is an unforgettable evening celebrating the global superstar. The show features all of Michael's hits from Wham! and his solo career including Father Figure, Freedom, Faith, Careless Whisper, Freedom 90, Outside and Too Funky. "Fastlove is a respectful tribute to one of the greatest and most influential musicians of all time. It is a stunning stage show taking the world by storm," says Crane-Ross.
