Excellent Show! -‐ Tammy S, Allstate Financial Group Live in your world. Party in ours! www.tedoliverduelingpianos.com 414-339-7441 Ted Oliver Productions Milwaukee, WI 414-339-7441 www.tedoliverduelingpianos.com What the Heck are Dueling Pianos? One word: FUN! The Dueling Pianos concept is all about fun. Put two beautiful baby grand pianos on stage, add two impossibly talented and outgoing entertainers who play and sing with gusto. Throw in a ton of rockin’ tunes, everything from Jerry Lee Lewis to Journey, from the Beatles to Bruno Mars, from Adele to ZZ Top. Add a heaping helping of audience participation and you have a recipe for an unforgettable event. But don’t be misled, Dueling Pianists don’t really “duel” each other. It’s not piano pistols at 40 paces at dawn. Rather it is four hands and two voices that bring a wide variety of music to life. And who decides the play list? You do! The show is request-driven which means each show is unique and tailored to your guest’s musical tastes. Why Dueling Pianos? The Dueling Pianos concept is the key ingredient to make any event a once in a lifetime experience. In this plugged in world of iphones, ipads, Xboxes, texting and twitter, this concept stands out as true interactive entertainment for you and your guests with a bonding experience that goes way beyond a DJ or a band. In fact, one of our Dueling Pianos teams can replace a band, a DJ and even a comedian. The variety of non-stop music with our improvised comedic show makes Dueling Pianos your best bet for any event, any venue, and any audience. Fantastic! Ted put on an excellent performance. Ted Oliver Productions will be my first choice in entertainment for our corporate events! -‐ Tammy B -‐ Thorntons Corporate Function, Louisville, KY From the moment we booked TOPDP to the last song, Ted focused on bringing people together and creating an environment for everyone to enjoy. It’s more than Dueling Pianos -‐ it’s a life experience. -‐ Matt and Michelle M -‐ Wedding Reception, Janesville, WI Ted Oliver Productions inc. Milwaukee, WI 414-339-7441 www.tedoliverduelingpianos.com Why Ted Oliver Productions Dueling Pianos? Ted Oliver Productions Dueling Pianos is the best Dueling Pianos experience for your special event. Bar none. We play piano, we sing, we cut up, but make no mistake - we are not the stars of the show, your guests are! An evening with TOPDP is an unforgettable experience and one that you and your guests will remember for years to come. Through countless shows we have developed a format for special event Dueling Pianos that is different from the show we perform in Dueling Piano bars. We love the bars and they are wildly fun with their risqué humor and musical roasting of guests but this material is not usually appropriate outside the piano bars. Our format for special event Dueling Pianos is every bit as fun as the piano bars but without the blue humor and risque content. This format has been perfected by us and is now the best interactive show your hard earned money can buy and all of our team members are experienced with special events Dueling Pianos. Like the Black Eyed Peas say so well: “I gotta feeling that tonight’s gonna be a good night.” With Ted Oliver Productions Dueling Pianos performing for your event, tonight will indeed be a very, very good night!

He did a great job of keeping all of our guests entertained and interacted great with the entire party. I will 100% book Ted Oliver productions for our next event! -‐ Yvette H -‐ Mikita USA , Corporate Function, San Antonio, TX Ted played our wedding and it was fantastic. The song selection, the pace, the excitement and the guest participation was exactly what we hoped for. We debated the whole DJ thing, but in the end we made the right choice by going with Ted. He exceeded expectations and everyone loved him. -‐ Melissa and Erik U -‐ Wedding Reception, Wauwatosa, WI Ted Oliver Productions put on a fantastic show! We had a crowd of 1,000 people, and they retained at least 90% of the folks throughout the show! The majority of our crowd had not been to a dueling piano performance and were unsure if they were going to enjoy it... I must say everyone had a great time! Huge success! They read the audience perfectly and would strongly recommend them to anyone! -‐ Michelle H -‐ Cash-‐wa Corporate Function, Kearney, NE Great show! Our group consisted of only 50 people and the performers did an incredible job. By far and away the best entertainment we have had at our company party in the 10 years we've been hosting the event. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Scott S -‐ Dakota Security Systems Corporate Function, Des Moines, IA Our community came out to support help support a local project and ending up with the most memorable show we have had in years. Our town is relatively small -‐ 8500 people. There were close to 450 people rockin and rollin to Ted's music. They played an extra one and one-‐half hours. People just wouldn’t let them stop. It was fantastic! -‐ Scott T, Fund Raiser, Denison, IA Ted made our wedding reception so fun and memorable. We have had nothing but compliments from people about how entertaining his show was and how they could not believe they didn’t take a break all night. I am so glad we didn’t go with a live band or DJ, Ted was absolutely wonderful. He was also very professional and organized through the entire process that he helped make our wedding planning easier! I would highly recommend Ted Oliver Productions to anyone who wants to do something a little bit different and fun for their event! -‐ Leslie A -‐ Wedding Reception, Crystal Lake, IL And Finally... Ted Oliver is a veteran Dueling Pianos entertainer and is respected by EVERYONE in the DP arena (myself included) both on and off the stage. His performance is nothing other than TOP NOTCH. Both TOPDP and my number one act are “set apart” from others who advertise for special event Dueling Pianos events in that they are TRUE Dueling Pianos entertainers with YEARS of experience. Their performances are complete with plenty of sing along and an enormous repertoire along with lots of comedy and audience interaction. They both have the ability to perform in just about every capacity imaginable, from grade school assemblies to college frat parties to senior citizens events. You are guaranteed to have an event appropriate time in a way that is offensive to no one. (This is not a guarantee with others who advertise Dueling Pianos performances). In my opinion, the entertainment value and professionalism of Ted Oliver Productions and my number one act are the same, in that they are both considered the “Best of the Best”. Whichever act you choose, your guests are guaranteed to have an OUTSTANDING time. Although I know and respect Ted Oliver, I do not represent him. Should you choose to go with Ted Oliver Productions (which would be a GREAT choice), you would have to contact him directly.
