The Spirit of Leondard Cohen

Hallelujah for Leonard Cohen!  This song is more famous than the singer/songwriter himself.  It has been recorded by more than 300 artists.  BUt who was Leonard Cohen?

His life of poetry, song-writing, drugs, sex, spiritual searching, politiacl thought and eventual peace are all exposed in this stage cabaret, brought to life by Jonathan Anstock and friends.

Who was Suzanne? So Long Marianne the muse! What is it like to be a Bird On A Wire? And Everybody Knows the Future looks challenging  but … “there is a crack in everything, and that’s how the light gets in!”

“For six decades, Leonard Cohen revealed his soul to the world through poetry and song—his deep and timeless humanity touching our very core. Simply brilliant. His music and words will resonate forever.”

—Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, 2008

Review:

'A group of us attended the recent concert at the Majestic Theatre in Pomona and were completely transported by Jonathon Anstock's interpretation of Leonard Cohen's songs.  He was totally convincing as Cohen, so much so that a member of the group, who had seen Leonard Cohen in real life, felt that she was back in his presence. 

In his signature grey suit and hat and reminiscing as Cohen, Jonathan epitomised him in every way - the resemblance was almost uncanny. The show was beautifully staged and the musical accompaniment provided perfect backing.

Leonard Cohen fans were not disappointed and non-believers were converted. This show will live on and deserves to be seen throughout Australia - and beyond '
