A theatrical cabaret with live pianist.
“This is a quality show… a truly fascinating and colourful life story, told with passion, humour and not a little drama. I loved it!” Clare Brotherwood UK Theatre Network
The 1930’s star of musical comedy Gertrude Lawrence tells her own story for the first time in her own words. A feisty, strong woman from Clapham, Gertie transcended the class ceiling, forging her stage and screen career into her 50’s. The show celebrates her brilliance, on and off stage, with pacy dialogue which is funny and revealing. Bursting with over 20 songs from London variety and revue to hits by Noel Coward and Kurt Weill.
“Lucy Stevens gives a tremendous performance as the grande dame, socking out a fantastic selection of songs … Beautifully structured and charmingly portrayed. The audience loved it – Top class entertainment!” Chris Sparkle therealchrisparkle
Lucy Stevens has cleverly crafted a new vibrant script using Gertrude Lawrence’s own words from her autobiography A Star Danced. With songs and storytelling, Lucy’s performance embodies the spirit of Gertie, transporting the audience from her childhood in Clapham to London’s swanky night clubs and the bright lights of Broadway.
