About the program
This year’s campaign kickoff is unique and is sure to entertain you. We are incredibly excited to introduce the City of Lawton to “BIG SHOW Dueling Pianos,” a fun and multidimensional musical group whose many accolades include, “Best Variety Entertainment,” by The Village Voice, NYC and “Best Dueling Piano Act,” at Walt Disney World, Orlando. BIG SHOW Dueling Pianos was also recently inducted into the Dick Clark Walk of Fame. Dueling piano shows are becoming more popular than ever. However, “BIG SHOW Dueling Pianos” takes this to an entirely new level with their unmatched stage show, larger than life sound and lighting, and their national award winning vocals. Their involvement with charitable organizations is extensive and all money they receive at the event will be given directly back to United Way of Southwest Oklahoma. Now that is fun for a cause!
