Martin Preston is an actor and musician who has devoted the past fourteen years to re-creating the music and glamour of the late, great Liberace. A native of Indianapolis, Martin was bitten by the show business bug at the age of six, when he began classical piano training. While growing up, he discovered a flair not only for music, but also for acting, comedy, and wearing unusual costumes!

After graduating with honors from Oakland City University, Martin began his performing career in earnest, appearing on stages throughout the United States and Canada both as an actor and a concert pianist. Always a Liberace fan, his piano style was frequently compared to that of the flamboyant showman (yes, all of the show’s piano playing is LIVE), and in 1988, work began on a tribute to the great entertainer. What was to have been a twenty minute act quickly grew into a two-hour extravaganza that has generated critical and popular acclaim throughout the world!

Liberace, A Performance Spectacular debuted at Jan McArt's Royal Palm Dinner Theatre in Boca Raton, Florida in 1990, where it ran for a record-breaking 32 weeks. Since then, Martin has appeared as Liberace in Las Vegas and Atlantic city, in many of the North America's finest theatres and showrooms, and throughout the world on the Cunard, Holland America, and Princess Cruise Lines. In addition to performing at several gala celebrations at the famed Liberace Museum in Las Vegas, Preston is an honored recipient of the Grand Prize in the Liberace Piano Competition, and has been granted the express authorization of the Liberace Estate to appear and perform as Liberace. But no matter where he is appearing, his greatest thrill is meeting the great showman's many fans, and being told "You ARE Liberace!"
