The internationally renowned and acclaimed The Musical Box, the only Genesis tribute band that has the blessing of Genesis and Peter Gabriel, comes to the Stadstheater with their 'A Genesis Extravaganza - An Unprecedented Musical Feast of 1970-1977 Favourites & Rarities'. Under the name BIS (Boerderij in Stadstheater), Cultuurpodium Boerderij occasionally presents special concerts in a seated setting.
The Musical Box has performed for more than a million spectators worldwide, at some of the most prestigious venues, such as The Royal Albert Hall in London. The band had the privilege of having Phil Collins and Steve Hackett of Genesis for guest appearances and is often mentioned in their search for authenticity as the best Genesis tribute band in the world! Expect songs from the early years of Genesis, think of albums like "Trespass", "Nursery Crime", "Foxtrot", "Selling England by the Pound, "The Lamb lies down on Broadway", "A Trick of The Trail" and "Wind & Wuthering".
<em>"The Musical Box recreated, very accurately I must say, what Genesis was doing. I saw them in Bristol with my children, so they could see what their father did back then." </em>Peter Gabriel (2002)
<em>"I cannot imagine that you could have a better tribute for any act. They not only manage to sound, but look virtually identical. It seems as though nothing is too difficult for them." </em>Steve Hackett (2002)
