Midwest Dueling Pianos will bring a level of fun to Mayville State that those who attend will never forget. This has quickly become one of the most sought-after dueling piano production companies in the country. Those attending can expect a program of excitement, hilarity, musicianship, and raw fun. The interactive musical comedy experience will have audience members singing, shouting, dancing, and laughing.

The all-request-driven show will feature music ranging from the songs of today to as far back as memories can take you. Audience members will provide the direction of the show to the performers by writing their favorite songs on request slips that they bring up to the two pianos, which will be front and center. The multi-talented dueling pianos entertainers will then perform the requested songs, while urging the audience to participate.
