Portland man revels in Liberace impersonation December 24 2020
Editor s note: This story about David Saffert, who s in Liberace & Liza show, ran in the Tribune five years ago.
Other than being from Wisconsin and playing piano, David Saffert doesn t know whether he has much in common with the late great Liberace.
But, once he dons the rings and the wig and the costumes and tickles the ivories and smiles, oh, does he ever give off reminders of one of the world s great show men.
Even Bo Ayars, Liberace s music director from 1973 to 1986 who has collaborated with Saffert on the impersonation act, noticed it.
This will give you all the feels.

Last summer, a video of a young woman on a Portland campus being spontaneously joined in her rendition of âThe Star-Spangled Bannerâ by a passerby became an internet sensation. The twoâMadisen Hallberg, who was recording the anthem for Portland State Universityâs virtual commencement ceremony, and Emmanuel âOnryâ Henreid, who sings with the Portland Operaâstruck a chord with hundreds of thousands of viewers amid nationwide protests for racial justice, and went on to appear on outlets local and national, including the Kelly Clarkson Show and the BBC News. (It was also one of our top arts and culture stories of the year.)
