First presented at the Solana Beach theater in 2011, the Canadian comedy is about two men at two pianos recounting their lifelong love-hate relationship with the instrument
When actor-director Tom Frey was growing up, he had an intense relationship with the piano. Eventually he and the instrument went through what he calls “a bad breakup” and he didn’t play for a long time.
“It was so close to what I had gone through,"Frey said. “I knew I had to audition , but I was terrified. But I knew if I didn’t, I’d regret it for the rest of my life.”That was in 1998, and in the 24 years since, Frey has not only performed in “2 Pianos 4 Hands” more than 600 times, he is also the U.S. resident director of the play.

Frey said casting the show is a difficult process and it requires actors with diverse skills and great stamina. The show is so physically demanding that he likes to give his actors a month of recovery time between productions.
