The Musical Box

For more than 10 years, The Musical Box has been re-enacting Genesis' "Foxtrot", "Selling England by the Pound" and "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway" concerts. Extensive research made The Musical Box performances as real and accurate as possible.

Famous for its complexity, Genesis' music has been a continuous challenge to reproduce and perform. To this end, The Musical Box acquired many vintage instruments and collectibles, such as the Coral Sitar used on "I Know What I Like" (courtesy of Michael… Show more Rutherford). To help with charts and arrangements, Tony Banks invited the band to listen to the original multi-track recordings.

Visual reproduction was based on a relentless search for archived photos, amateur films, and interviews with Genesis crew members of the time. The Musical Box were also given access to the original Genesis slide show. Sets, costumes, lights, special effects and choreography were meticulously reproduced.

Worldwide recognition of The Musical Box has brought the band to prestigious venues such as The Royal Albert Hall in London and The Olympia in Paris. The Musical Box has had the privilege of being joined by both Steve Hackett and Phil Collins during encores, and of Peter Gabriel and Michael Rutherford attending a performance.
