The magic and entertainment of “The Doors” are returning to The Basement Sydney on Friday 27 January 2017 in an interactive and engaging musical showcase that will transport you back in time. “Unlocking the Doors” – The Australian Doors Experience is a grandstand of music, poetry and drama, that is genuinely all things “Doors”.

Particular attention has been paid to replicate both the style and sound of each band member and absolutely nothing is recorded. Everything is live and the band delivers an authentic sound and a powerhouse performance.

The Doors were among the most controversial, influential and unique rock acts of the 1960's and beyond, mostly because of Morrison's wild, poetic lyrics and charismatic but unpredictable stage persona. "Unlocking the Doors" highlights the band's chaotic magnetism in a multi-media performance bound to surprise and delight. This unique show takes a holistic and creative approach to your average concert and encapsulates more of what this iconic band was about. Between the musical sets are poetry readings and a number of sequences from Jim's post death poetry album, 'An American Prayer', which was released by the surviving members. Additionally, the audience can expect the drama and suspense of what Jim used to bring with genuine outbursts and engaging behavior from the legend himself.

 "His lyrics are powerful and his stage presence was intoxicating, we'd like to show people how brilliant he was. " -Rich Mikic aka 'Morrison' in Unlocking the Doors.

The show has gained momentum since their launch in Wollongong on 1 August 2015 and a reputation as a showcase not to be missed with a following that is rapidly building throughout Sydney and along the east coast of NSW.
