Peace Train - The Cat Stevens Story REVIEW

Peace Train – The Cat Stevens Story By John Misto, Peter Cox, Darren Coggan & Neil Clugston Directed by John Saunders Presented by Peace Train Entertainment QUT Gardens Theatre, Brisbane Audiences may already know and love Cat Stevens’ music, but it’s unlikely many would be familiar with the “three lives” of the musical genius himself. As star Darren Coggan points out, cats usually have nine lives, but in Stevens’ case, he has lived three very distinct and fascinating existences. Coggan has met the man himself and speaks candidly about some of Stevens’ experiences in the show Peace Train. The night could be best described as a Cat Stevens tribute band with a side of his life story. Coggan’s likeness to Stevens is haunting, yet while he may sound very similar, he brings something of his own to the music... By Kellie Scott.

FYI, he did not, Harry Chapin did.
