A Useful Life in C Major

A delightful show as David Wheatley plies his talents at the keyboard to an ecletic mix of pieces ranging from original numbers to classic TV show themes.... full review

While the transitions were very awkward, it makes the music and the story behind the songs all the more endearing. What made the show awkward really helped make it funny, enlightening, and musical all in its own way.... full review

Yesterday, I saw an amazing concert, A USEFUL LIFE in C Major, featuring David Wheatley, pianist, composer, burgeoning comic and gifted storyteller. I was very impressed!

I would recommend this show to anyone looking for something out of the box and for an inspiring and fun experience.... full review

Imagine an actor improvising with Shakespeare, Chekhov, Mamet, and Gergis. Now translate that to the piano and the 12 incredibly agile fingers of Mr. Wheatley. Take a break from the drama, and get transported into your own private jazz club. ... full review
