“Awesome! It was like Leonard Cohen’s reincarnation! Looks, mannerisms, voice etc: scary and brilliant at the same time.”
Hallelujah may be more famous than the singer/songwriter himself, being recorded by 300 artists. But who was Leonard Cohen? His life of poetry, song-writing, drugs, sex, spiritual searching, depression, political thought and eventual peace are all exposed in this well crafted cabaret.
Who was Suzanne? So Long Marianne the muse! 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
