Lucy Stevens & Elizabeth Marcus
Gertrude Lawrence: A Lovely Way to Spend an Evening
The latest collaboration between superbly gifted actor and singer, Lucy Stevens and pianist Elizabeth Marcus.
Directed by award winning cabaret artist Sarah-Louise Young.
Gertrude Lawrence, the 1930's star of musical comedy tells her story.
Lucy Stevens has cleverly crafted a new vibrant script using Gertrude Lawrence's own words taken from her memoirs.
With songs and storytelling, Lucy embodies the spirit of Gertie, leading the audience from her childhood in Clapham, to
London's swanky night clubs and the bright lights of Broadway.
Funny, revealing and bursting with songs from Variety & Revue's to hits by Noel Coward, Kurt Weill and Rodgers & Hammerstein.
"We were mesmerised by Gertie and her story. The era and nods to history, music and her wit with, a lift of an eyebrow – and the use of the stole! Blooming marvellous!"
"A wonderful show, utterly brilliant. Fabulous singing – 'lovely' is actually a massive understatement."
