Enjoy an afternoon in the company of one of MY FAIR LADY‘s leading Elizas, Liz Robertson! Having started performing at a young age with the BBC’s YOUNG GENERATION, Liz’s West End career began playing Mrs Anderson in Hal Prince’s production of A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC. She later went on to portray Eliza Doolittle in Cameron Mackintosh’s revival of MY FAIR LADY, touring the UK in 1978-79 – including to Leicester’s Haymarket Theatre! – before landing at London’s Adelphi Theatre, where she was nominated for the Olivier Award for Best Actress in a Musical. Accompanied by pianist Simon Beck, Liz’s loverly return to Leicester will see her perform songs from MY FAIR LADY and recount personal tales from the production she starred in 46 years ago. Liz will also share passages from the book THE STREET WHERE I LIVE, the autobiography of her late husband and MY FAIR LADY lyricist Alan Jay Lerner, retelling how the musical was created. Book now for AN AFTERNOON WITH LIZ ROBERTSON, exclusively at Curve this festive season. Running time: 1 hour and 20 minutes (no interval).

London’s West End’s Simon Beck teams up with international classical concert pianist Julian Hellaby for a brand new collaboration celebrating the Great American Songbook

Gather round the baby grand with David Rhodes and Simon Beck for an evening of classic standards from the Golden Era of Nightclubs. Following sold out performances in New York and Provincetown Massachusetts, Rhodes is thrilled to be returning to Crazy Coqs for SOIR NOIR: A Nightclub Confidential’s international debut. “Much of the greatest music of the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s was first presented and developed around the piano at the
private parties of New York and London’s social elite,” says Rhodes, “before being popularised by the great artists
of the day in nightclubs around the world.”  SOIR NOIR: A Nightclub Confidential is a reimagining of one of those intimate evenings featuring the music of Cole Porter, Nat King Cole, Noel Coward and a roster of other artists from those formative decades. Join David, Simon and guest artist Jake Oswell for a nostalgic soiree. Cocktail attire encouraged but not required. “A singing actor of the highest order.” – Cabaretscenes.org “A superb storyteller turning any song into a one act play.” – Nite Life Exchange “Rhodes is extremely adept at letting the audience in.” – Broadway World “The best crafted cabaret show I’ve seen in years!”– Ambassador Productions
